History[edit]

On April 11, 2022, the band released their self-titled debut album and lead single "I Choose Me", the first music that longtime bandmates Thayil and Cameron had worked on together since Soundgarden lead singerChris Cornelldied in 2017.[1]The album was engineered by frequent Nirvana and Soundgarden collaboratorJack Endino.[2]The creation of the album had been kept under wraps, and the album was released as a surprise, although prior to its release the band played a show at theMuseum of Pop Culturein Seattle, and in February 2022, Novoselic tweeted that he was working on something new.[3]

Regarding the recording process of the album and the amount of songs they decided to record, the band stated on their website, "At one time, there was an idea for three separate albums by individuals to include various contributions from the musicians above. Anything seemed possible and attitudes were positive. In late 2021, feeling like too much time had passed, or just plain impatient, Krist and Jillian proposed 3rd Secret — combining material recorded in Seattle and on the farm. And this is how we got to this record with Jillian and Krist on the cover."[4]On June 22, 2023, the band released their second album, titledThe 2nd 3rd Secret.[5]
