From the longing of synthetic fulfillment comes the self-titled debut album from American synth duo – Secrecies on Idol Records. Find warmth in sweet bouncy melodies, as they frame a revolt from the digital dots that connect modern society. Stacked layers of brilliant vocals descend into a gritty bed of rock sentiment, leaving you wanting more.

By complete happenstance, Shawn Magill and Joey Noga met at a Cashmere Cat concert in Deep Ellum (Dallas, TX). They instantly connected over their obsession with sexy, synth heavy electro pop and formed a new band, Secrecies. Together, their multi-layered chilling harmonies unite over playful pulses, evoking the heartaches and joys of passing youth.

Today we’re thrilled to premiere their new song “Life We Live” – streaming below! The song is light and airy with an underlying intensity. It creates a unique mood and compels you to keep pressing play. We are loving this one and excited for it to be out in the world!
 
In their own words:

“Life We Live” is about living the life that makes us happy, not what makes everyone else happy. We spend much of our lives trying to live up to other people’s expectations, without allowing ourselves the time to find out what we really need to be happy. We are afraid to let people down, afraid of success and failure. So this song is about moving past paralyzing, painful life moments and shedding our fears to go after the things we want. This was the first song we played together right after meeting, and involved Joey banging on pots and pans along with Shawn playing piano and singing some lyrics she had recently written while sitting alone at a bar.
 
While the song has changed since then, that early joyful experience encapsulates what it’s all about – letting go and finding freedom.
