Description
For fans of Big Wreck, the twist is how intimate Ian Thornley’s Secrets feels, with Thornley trading arena crunch for close-mic confessions. He leans into patient dynamics, like a breathy pre-chorus that seems to hover before a chorus blooms, or a quick hammer-on run in a second verse that snaps your ear to the guitar hand. A hushed bridge later opens into a roomy solo that shows his touch more than his firepower.
This 2LP pressing gives the songs space to breathe and the low end sits deeper, so the acoustic layers and vocal harmonies separate cleanly without losing warmth. It lands neatly beside late-90s Canadian alt-rock on your shelf, adjacent to Big Wreck, but the songwriting focus and quieter textures make this its own corner.
Easy to play straight through on a quiet Melbourne evening, or during a late drive when you want detail without fatigue. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Ian Thornley records online with us. Artwork also benefits from the larger format, letting the muted palette match the music’s restraint.
A solid pick if you want a songwriter-forward record that still rewards close listening, with tasteful guitar craft and a voice that carries the weight without overselling it. Order today, available online or for pickup in our Melbourne store.
