The 2LP set will be pressed on 180g vinyl and come in a beautiful gatefold tip-on Stoughton jacket. Ten Silver Drops 2LP will be available to pre-order until October 9th and then pressed and numbered to a limited quantity based on total orders. The alternative rock trio of brothers Brandon Curtis, Ben Curtis and Josh Garza that came on to the scene in the early 2000’s with a unique and creative take on progressive “space rock” may have only released two albums on Reprise and a third independently, but their highly original sound is undeniable and infectious. They were a personal favorite of the late legend David Bowie and have toured with the likes of The Foo Fighters, Spiritualized, Oasis, Kings of Leon and Interpol. When asked about their sophomore effort getting an update, drummer Josh Garza said, "Ten Silver Drops is a very special album for me... I feel it was a great time for the band and recording at Allaire Studios was quite the experience. The songs are strong and our sense of experimentation comes through on the whole album. We were always trying to "push the envelope" in terms of song structure and overall sonics. On one hand we were being influenced by our love for Eno and all things experimental, on the other hand was our love for The Beatles."

All Music Guide gave the album 4 out of 5 stars. Their second album, Ten Silver Drops, like their first, did not make an impact commercially but garnered many favorable reviews. Following the release, the band was interviewed by David Bowie on radio; purported to be a big fan. Benjamin left the band in March of 2007, and was replaced by Phil Karnats. They have toured with the Foo Fighters, Spiritualized, Oasis, Kings of Leon, Interpol and many others. The band has been inactive since 2010 but Brandon and Josh have reformed and are working on a new album. Anyone interested in Pink Floyd, NEU, Ride, Spacemen 3, Mercury Rev, the Flaming Lips, U2, Super Furry Animals, Sparklehorse & Broken Social Scene should appreciate Secret Machine’s modern day Space Rock.
