"Secret Square" is the eponymous album by Secret Square. A lo-fi affair with songs written by Hilarie Sidney and Lisa Janssen, it consists of seven original songs and four demos. The release went largely unnoticed. Sidney herself states "not a lot of people have" heard it. [http://www.e6townhall.com/viewthread.php?tid=1537] The album and the previously released single remain cult collector's items among Elephant 6 fans.

Jim McIntyre of Von Hemmling provides bass for "Light of the Sun".

The LP is available for download in its entirety at Optical Atlas.
