We are born into noise and silence.
Secretly Dead is the sound of both colliding.
It is postrock collapsing into shadows, shoegaze dissolving in electronic fog, darkwave pulsing like a hidden heartbeat.
It is music for ghosts who are still alive, and for the living who already carry the weight of ghosts.
Every song is a fracture of beauty and despair.
Every sound is a wound turned into light.
We believe in distortion as truth.
We believe in vulnerability as resistance.
We believe that death is not the end, but the beginning of sound without a body.
Secretly Dead is the physical, dark brother to My Beautiful Decay 1973 —
where My Beautiful Decay 1973 turns inward, spiritual and emotional,
Secretly Dead turns outward, raw and corporeal.
Two sides of the same shadow, meeting in sound.
Also crossing into each other’s sphere.
Lyrical excerpts:
from the song “Lost in the ocean”:
Lost in the ocean
shunned by the stars
we hold on to hope
dangle through the dark
from the song “Animal”
Disappear, I Disappear when I’m higher
I implode, I destruct when I flow.
Blackgazer boi, I’ve always been a wonder
I’m a dark soul, when I fight with my demons
Slower, go slower if we wake up
I will eat you up like the last feast
Your body trembling when I take you deeper
I’m like an animal - bizarre creeper
Creeper.…
Creeper….
