The last time Secret Shine recorded an album they were signed to Sarah Records and it was 1993. 15 years later and album number 2 ‘All of the Stars’ is about to drop via Clairecords. While they only ever scored one top 20 hit in the shape of ‘Loveblind’ Secret Shine are still fondly remembered by fans of the shoegaze genre. ‘Temporal’ is reason enough to see why with its ethereal vocals and searing chords. Their sound is out of step with contemporary acts so it will be interesting to see how their new material stacks up. That said there will be no arguments whatsoever from this corner if they stick to the shoegaze template. Secret Shine are due to support Levy on a number of dates throughout the UK and are also pencilled in to appear at SXSW in March. KD
