Secret Friend is a project that has literally traveled the globe in order to find its voice. The brainchild of Secret Friend is Steven Fox, who was a working musician in Seattle and London in the 80′s, only to put his career on hold and move to South East Asia where he became a wildly successful entrepreneur. The music never left his soul, however, and in 2012 he returned to music full time and created Secret Friend. The project features Fox as the principle creative party, where he blends a wide variety of influences into a single voice. Whether it be acoustic guitars, digital programming, pop melodies, psychedelic production, or a straight forward rock vibe, the end result is always simultaneously intriguing and engaging. On the newest album, Sleeper, Fox enlisted several guest vocalists and each track has an accompanying music video. “I Don’t Know You” is a psychedelic anthem teeming with angelic harmonies, akin to HIP favorites of Montreal. The video is a bit of a creeper, showing the not-so-elegant realities of obsession and stalking. Generally the relationship between restaurant server and patron ends with a simple “Can I get the check?” but not for the guy as he imagines a world that doesn’t exist and pursues a fantasy probably best left alone.
