- 34 minutes 51 seconds90 Day Men Pt. 3
Back in the mid-nineties, a group emerged from St. Louis, later moving to Chicago, where they'd go on to make some of the most beguiling and unique music of the time. They were 90 Day Men. Over four albums and a few EPs, the band's sound developed into elaborate, experimental, baroque songs, influenced by the world around them and delving back into prog, sixties art rock, and beyond. Later this month Numero Group will release a new deluxe 25th anniversary edition of 90 Day Men's '(It Is It) Critical Band' LP, including a previously-unreleased album tracked at Steve Albini's Electrical Audio studio in Chicago. In this final episode, host Tim Kinsella speaks to the band about their final albums, trips to Japan, the burnout of relentless shows and being a little too ahead of the musical curve.

Back in the mid-nineties, a group emerged from St. Louis, later moving to Chicago, where they'd go on to make some of the most beguiling and unique music of the time. They were 90 Day Men. Over four albums and a few EPs, the band's sound developed into elaborate, experimental, baroque songs, influenced by the world around them and delving back into prog, sixties art rock, and beyond. In part two of this three-part series from the Secretly Society Podcast, Tim Kinsella, a fellow Chicagoan and friend of the band, guides us through conversations about 90 Day Men's early singles, working with labels for the first time, lineup changes and how they developed their unique sound, and their first forays into touring.

Back in the mid-nineties, a group emerged from St. Louis, later moving to Chicago, where they'd go on to make some of the most beguiling and unique music of the time. They were 90 Day Men. In this three-part series from the Secretly Society Podcast, Tim Kinsella, a fellow Chicagoan and friend of the band, guides us through conversations with the members and other folks who were involved in the scenes and movements that they operated in. Over four albums and a few EPs, the band's sound developed into elaborate, experimental, baroque songs, influenced by the world around them and delving back into prog, sixties art rock, and beyond. 90 Day Men were not ahead of their time, they were of a different world entirely; their discography, and a handful of previously unheard songs, were compiled into a five-LP set by Numero Group in 2023. In this episode, Tim speaks to the band about the musical world from which they were born, and how they came to be.

20 November 2025, 11:00 am - 1 hour 32 minutesSecretly Frequencies - Hatchie
G'day! Today on the Secretly Society podcast we welcome one of our label family's rare Australian artists, Harriette Pilbeam, who you will know much better as Hatchie. Starting out playing in bands as a teenager in Brisbane, Hatchie put her first single out under her own name in 2017 and quickly picked up interest in both her home country and internationally. She signed with Secretly Canadian in 2021, released her much-acclaimed follow up album 'Giving the World Away' in 2022 and just dropped her latest, the sweet and salty 'Liquorice,' last week. Chatting with her fellow countryman Max Thomas, Secretly Distribution's Head of Marketing & Campaigns Asia-Pacific, and co-host Tom Davies, Hariette shoots the breeze on Letterboxd scores, dream-pop, Oasis, and much more.

12 November 2025, 12:00 am - 1 hour 41 minutesSecretly Frequencies - Lonnie Holley
Today's guest is the inimitable Lonnie Holley, and to say that he has a rich and long history is an understatement. While Lonnie is a relatively recent addition to Jagjaguwar since 2018, he's been creating for decades as a sculptor, painter, musician, and poet; his visual art work is included in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and his musical collaborators include Bon Iver, Richard Swift, and Alabaster Deplume. There's no story quite like Lonnie's, and co-hosts Tom Davies and longtime Jagjaguwar A&R Eric Deines make it down just the tip of the iceberg in this dynamic conversation exploring Lonnie's catalog of songs and stories.

29 October 2025, 10:00 am - 1 hour 20 minutesSecretly Frequencies - Jensen McRae
You may have heard her on your TikTok feed, opening for MUNA, or on the silver screen; Jensen McRae is a polymath and a manifestor. She released her second album 'I Don't Know How But They Found Me!' on Dead Oceans this past spring, and it's already landed on several critics' best-of-2025-so-far lists. Self-described as "one house down from the girl next door," Jensen joins co-hosts Catalog Project Manager Coco Segaller and A&R Samantha Urbani for a game of name that tune. Jensen covers the power of moving on, meeting your heroes, and lyrically swinging between crying and laughing (or both at the same time).

15 October 2025, 10:00 am - 1 hour 32 minutesSecretly Frequencies – Porridge Radio
Tune into Secretly Frequencies with Dana Margolin of Porridge Radio. Dana started Porridge Radio while still a university student, and met natural collaborators Georgia Stott (keyboards), Sam Yardley (drums), and Maddie Ryall, and later, Dan Hutchins (bass). The "sometimes twisted, often transcendent, always incendiary" band came to an end earlier this year, and today's chat with co-hosts Tom Davies and A&R Director Adam Nealon serves as a chance for Dana to look back over a decade spent making music under the Porridge Radio moniker. Dana reflects on visual and sonic art connections (including playing le Centre Pompidou in Paris), writing solo versus arranging with bandmates, and managing a meteoric rise while the world was largely shut down.
