INTERVIEW. 47 secret cities

Secret Cities once was White Foliage, a project that started as cassette mixtapes travelling through North Dakota between teenagers Charlie and Marie. A few years later, Alex joined the band and they became Secret Cities.
With two full albums - Pink Grafitti (2010) and Strange Hearts (2011) - this trio created a world of their own, where romantic pop meets up with a soothing psychedelia and the combination of echoed vocals and distant uuuhhs gives a certain haunted, vintage and charming feeling to their sound. Add to that the variety of instruments and layers and you're ready to immerse into their music.

(Beautiful bedroom pop with original experimentations with instruments, layers and vocals creating an image of 60's pop being played in the middle of a foggy forest on an autumn afternoon).
