Secret Square (album)

Untitled

Secret Square is the eponymous album by Secret Square. A lo-fi affair with songs written by Hilarie Sidney and Lisa Janssen, it consists of seven original songs and four demos. The release went largely unnoticed. Sidney herself states "not a lot of people have" heard it.[1] Those who have heard it critically, however, did not give the album positive feedback, as the album receives 1.5 stars out of five at All Music Guide, noting that "there's a fine line between 'artless' and 'incompetent,' and sadly, parts of Secret Square fall on the wrong side."[2] Nonetheless, the album and and the previously released single remain cult collector's items among Elephant 6 fans.

Jim McIntyre of Von Hemmling provides bass for "Light of the Sun".

The LP is available for download in its entirety at Optical Atlas.
