IN MY OTHER WORLD

The pandemic has only accelerated the practice of remote collaborative recording, but for the globe-spanning lineup of Trade Secrets it was simply business as usual.

Peter returns with the far-flung crew for These Other Lives, Part Two, the second in an EP series launched last summer via Distortion Productions--available now on Bandcamp and all digital platforms, with a compiled CD to follow.

Previewed by the single Glyphic (a 'spellbinding journey of reflection' - Earmilk) with vocals from TS helmer FJ Desanto and John Kunkel of The New Division, the record evokes the spaces between the existences we live and the ones we dream.

“'Where the first chapter...felt like it was about slipping in and out of different skins, this one’s more haunted by projection: a longing for the lives we never got to live under lockdown,' says Peter Riley, who sings on what the band considers to be their first genuine ballad, Left Behind, which he describes as '…a song about people trapped in close quarters—isolated, but eating each other alive emotionally. Mutual jailers who have thrown away the keys.'" - Jammerzine

OUT OF MY WAY

History repeats. VOTE.
