 The Secret City
 The Secret City
 Review by Gary Hill

With their eponymous titled debut disc, The Secret City have created a piece of art that speaks on many levels. Its musical footprint occupies a unique place, but calls to mind some familiar elements. Their sound is essentially modern progressive rock, but that’s really just sort of a starting point for them.
While the music won’t appeal to everyone (it definitely has a bit of a “weirdness factor”) this is highly creative and compelling music. The vocals are sometimes a bit off-key, but it’s in a charming way. This is an exceptionally strong disc that bodes well for the future of The Secret City.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2012 Volume 3 at lulu.com/strangesound.
