Secret Iris: Depressive rock from Hoozdo/Fiinigis.

Phoenix is called in the Navajo language Hoozdo while it is called Fiinigis in the western Apaches and it is no secret. It is also no secret that the band Secret Iris comes from Hoozdo. Secret Iris have recently released the sngle What Are You Waiting For by Crisis Tree Records. Secret Iris is a depression rock from Phoenix, AZ. Tarck-list:

1. What Are You Waiting For 04:57

2. Extrasensory Rejection (Winter Sanctuary) 04:3

Embracing the darker side of the human existence, Secret Iris evoke a gloomy mood with heavy fuzz tones, soaring vocals and dynamic rhythms. Drawing musical inspiration from the likes of Type O Negative, Nirvana, ink Floyd and Bauhaus, the trio’s sound is an eclectic mix with a nostalgic edge.

Secret Iris was born out of chance with Jeffrey Owens writing in 2017 material initially intended for a new Goya record. With the new tracks taking on a different character they were separated off to become Secret Iris.

The new release delivers a powerful throwback to the early 00s with What Are You Waiting For packing a melancholic minimalist verse, reminiscent to Nirvana,contrasted with an anthemic chorus. Heavy guitars and bass morph into a wall of sound, grounding the track with behemothic rhythms. Extrasensory Rejection (Winter Sanctuary) delivers a fast pace with energetic guitars and percussion. Progressing into a slow, doom-esque bridge, the track explores multiple layers both musically and conceptually.

The What Are You Waiting For 7” is the first release on new label Crisis Tree Records. CTR specializes in pressing limited-run 7” vinyl. This release (and all following) will be limited to 100 black vinyl, and 25 hand-made Wax Mage copies.
