Washington DC’s Secret Pop is the solo project of former Ape House frontman and current Lejeune multi-instrumentalist J. Forte.
With power pop influences in all the right places, J. Forte + Secret Pop offer the listener an apple that didn’t fall too far from the Beatles, Kinks, Beach Boys, and Cheap Trick tree. It’s an enjoyable listen. If you enjoy the mp3 we’ve shared, make a point of visiting the Secret Pop website to download three others.
