Background notes
Archive material and source history
Best Kept Secret formed in Los Angeles around singer Anya Marina and multi-instrumentalist Patrick Carney. Their 2017 debut EP 'Darkroom' gave the band its first real attention, with the title track becoming a quiet favorite for its moody, introspective feel.
Marina's lyrics often dealt with personal struggles, and her vocal delivery had a raw, exposed quality that made songs like 'Another Night' and 'April 5th' feel more like confessions than performances. The music itself was built on Carney's layered guitar work, creating a dense, atmospheric backdrop.
In 2018, the band faced some public criticism after a photo shoot featuring Marina with a firearm. The incident sparked debate, but the group continued working, releasing more material that leaned into their established sound of melancholic indie rock.
