Like Camper Van Beethoven and Fleetwood Mac before them, Secret Annexe cuts a wide stylistic swath while still sounding like a cohesive unit.

Secret Annexe's 2007 release, seven headed monster, topped 225 Magazine's Best Baton Rouge Albums of the Year List:

"Rob Mulhearn and the six other members can stuff a stage to capacity, but on Seven-Headed Monster careful arrangements and deep pop textures give the guitars, keys, violas and noise enough space to breathe. Like Camper Van Beethoven and Fleetwood Mac before them, Secret Annexe cuts a wide stylistic swath while still sounding like a cohesive unit." Alex V. Cook, 225 Magazine, Baton Rouge, LA

other reviews:

"early Talking Heads with a violin (sic) and better chord changes" -- Americana UK

"the group plays a well-balanced blend of psychedelic folk, noisy guitar rock, and quirky '90s indie-pop; think Pinetop Seven and Pavement having coffee in a diner while Camper Van Beethoven is eavesdropping in on the conversation." -- Flood Watch Music

"an ambitious collection of expansive songs, minor-key angst, and majestic reach ... Secret Annexe is too good to stay secret." -- Baton Rouge's The Advocate



They have shared the stage with the Dirty Projectors, Tilly & the Wall, Danielson, Midlake, Maria Taylor, Jesse Sykes, The Velvet Teen, Shannon Wright, and many others.
