Regarding new music, on the bands website they stated that "Today we're all making a splash as a “supergroup”. 3rd Secret is perhaps a prequel to another release from this super group of musicians. There will not be a 4th Secret, rather, a new name for another round of material from these players and singers. It is about music first and foremost.

{| class="wikitable plainrowheaders" style="text-align:center;"
The plan is to get together at the end of summer and finish another record. There are about half of an album of songs already existing which need to be recorded properly. The level of inspiration has been so high, we are looking forward to working together again. There are no plans for any live performances at this time. Thanks for all of the interest in the work. We are happy 3rd Secret is out!"<ref>https://3rdsecret.com</ref>

History

[edit]

On April 11, 2022, the band released their self-titled debut album and lead single "I Choose Me", the first music that longtime bandmates Thayil and Cameron had worked on together since Soundgarden lead singer Chris Cornell died in 2017.[1] The album was engineered by frequent Nirvana and Soundgarden collaborator Jack Endino.[2] The creation of the album had been kept under wraps, and the album was released as a surprise, although prior to its release the band played a show at the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle, and in February 2022, Novoselic tweeted that he was working on something new.[3]

Regarding the recording process of the album and the amount of songs they decided to record, the band stated on their website, "At one time, there was an idea for three separate albums by individuals to include various contributions from the musicians above. Anything seemed possible and attitudes were positive. In late 2021, feeling like too much time had passed, or just plain impatient, Krist and Jillian proposed 3rd Secret — combining material recorded in Seattle and on the farm. And this is how we got to this record with Jillian and Krist on the cover."[4] On June 22, 2023, the band released their second album, titled The 2nd 3rd Secret.[5]
