"Telling Secrets to Strangers" is the first full-length record by rock band Self Against City, released on January 9 2007 via Drive-Thru Records' Rushmore imprint. Preceded by the self-produced EP "Take It How You Want It" (2005), the album marks the first time the band worked with a record producer. It was recorded within seventeen days throughout April 2006 by the five founding members, two of which (bassist Patrick O'Connor and drummer Chris Trombley) left the group weeks after the completion of the mixing process in June 2006.

The artwork and packaging of the album is somewhat unique, as it's flipped horizontally. Unlike conventional U.S. CDs and books, the spine is located on the right, meaning that both the case and the booklet open to the right. While most of the liner notes read ordinarily, the lyrics to "Talking to the Mirror" are written in mirror writing.
