Weird, this project is presented as a black metal act but I don't really hear this genre on any of the two songs on this debut-single by Secret Admirer. However, genres aside, this sounds pretty promising and quite good. At least, if you're into a bit of utter darkness once in a while.
Secret Admirer is a cooperation between Heinali, Matt Finney and Gilded Lily vocalist/lyricist Andrew Helinski. This two-track single should function as a teaser for the upcoming album. The second track, 'Pale Shelter' is a Tears For Fears cover, stripped down to a minimal dark ambient piece. To me, yes, this is the best Tears For Fears cover ever.
The other song, 'Billowing Perfume' is also mostly a dark ambient effort, dressed in an industrial cloth and adorned with several electronic jewels. The result is something between dark ambient, shoegaze and post rock. If this truly is a teaser for an upcoming album, I would very much like to hear what Secret Admirer has to offer us.
