New Secret News and Reviews
New Secret was featured in an art show at the Barbara Krakow gallery on Newbury St. in Boston. It was an exhibition of record covers only — mostly in frames. Other featured artists included Andy Warhol, R. Crumb, Robert Mapplethorpe, Yoko Ono, and Robert Rauschenberg. So there's New Secret up there with the covers of things like Sergeant Pepper's Lonley Hearts Club Band, Horses by Patti Smith, Mozart Mendelssohn Schubert: Magnificent Two-Piano Performances by Leonid Hambro and Jascha Zayde, Cheap Thrills by Big Brother and the Holding Company, and Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth. Can you believe it?
Stephen Slaybaugh, in Columbus Alive writes:
"Creating synthetic rumblings and whines, Rylan juxtaposes multiple layers of her voice — some high and otherworldly and others that fade in and out of feedback — for one of the more delicate sounding so-called noise albums."
We have put yet more reviews on line.
