简介
Secret Rituals is the third album from Brisbane indie pop duo The Grates. It is their first album to be recorded as a duo, with longtime drummer Alana Skyring having left the band to pursue a culinary career. The first song to be released to radio as a single was "Turn Me On", which was first played on Triple J on April 29, 2011. The track "Borrowed Skin" was made available as a download from the band's Facebook and Bandcamp pages. Recording of the album was done in 2010 and 2011 in Brooklyn, New York where the band had relocated for several months. During the recording process drums were played by Ben Marshall. The band made the entire album available to stream via their website along with accompanying videos that were made for each track which were shot and edited by The Grates themselves. The Grates are a two-piece band from Brisbane, Australia, comprising Patience Hodgson (vocals) and John Patterson (guitar). They have been lauded for their catchy songs and enthusiastic and energetic live shows, as Patience spends much of the time bouncing around, even while singing. Their music is frequently described as "fun": "We just wanna have fun and hope other people do too." (Patience). Their sound has been compared to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Be Your Own Pet[citation needed]. In March 2006 they played at the South by Southwest trade music fair in Texas.
