Fred Again… and Brian Eno to release collaborative album, Secret Life, on vinyl this Friday

The surprise release is due this week.

Brian Eno and Fred Again… are releasing a collaborative album, Secret Life, this Friday via Four Tet’s label Text Records.

The surprise drop has been dubbed “the most beautiful album of 2023” by Four Tet on Twitter when announcing the release.

Secret Life was written between 2020 and 2022, and was mastered by Kieran Hebden (Four Tet).

The duo met when Fred Again…, aka Fred Gibson, joined an a cappella group based at Eno’s studio as a teenager. They’ve also previously worked together on Brian Eno’s albums, Someday World and High Life, with Gibson credited as a songwriter (High Life only) and co-producer.

Secret Life is available to pre-order on black vinyl now, ahead of its release this Friday 5 May.
