Hotpress review,
“Another White Lie, '(and) This is why’: Opening with a spacey, dramatic guitarscape, this dark track slowly burns into a delicious wall of distorted sound, bursting with impassioned vocals. It's another impressive tune taken from Kilkenny indie rock duo Another White Lie's debut album ...in secret, break up, which earned praise for emotive exploration of love, life, depression, joy and everything in-between”
Hotpress review “...in secret, break up.”
Another White Lie’s brand-new track, ‘...in secret, break up’, reenacts the dark guitar alt-rock of the early ‘00s. As the title track from their debut album, out today, ‘...in secret, break up’ comprises a sweeping exploration of themes, from love and joy to depression and everything in between. With those first chords, the track immediately arrests listeners, buckling them in for the journey across alt-rock vistas, never letting up until the final chord rings out.”
