The Terrible Secret

So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, good night.
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight.
"Partly dreamy, partly gazy, always rocking..." - a fan...
"...a local group calling itself The Terrible Secret, whose set consisted of a series of songs like shimmering mountain lakes that explored a 1980s 4AD Records aesthetic. Brian, the singer, would build the scaffold of each song by hitting his strings with a rapid and rigid down stroke, over which Leah, the second guitarist, would weave fluid strands of guitar noise; the result was a decidedly shoegaze-y experience that didn't disappoint. - Jackson Griffith - Sacramento News & Review, December 7th, 2006 issue
"...enticing Cure-ish type sounds and they do it well! - Cary Rodda - Alive & Kicking May 2006
"The Terrible Secret's alternative sound has an ambient rising backdrop to urgent vocals.In other words, don't be a sucker and enjoy yourself. Mirth is ok." - Rachael R. Bogert - The California Aggie Online February 2006
"The Terrible Secret were lovely" - Kevin Seconds (from his blog) December 2005
