Photo taken by this lovely person , not I. My 23rd birthday was two weeks ago. I'm actually a little weirded out that I'm 23. I liked being 22, the evenness of it and the fact that it was my "Golden Year." (I guess that's what you call the year that follows your Golden Birthday...?) 23 is odd. 23 is how old some of my friends were, or were about to turn, when I met them and those are the friends I generally look to as "older" and "more mature," I [...]
Out sitting in his field: Andy Ross of Secret Dakota Ring (photo: Diana Seerman) Come on, I dare you not to love "The Fade To Black", the sparkling, sleek, urban pop single from Secret Dakota Ring (basically OK Go 's Andy Ross). It's the kind of unpretentious, unrelentingly pop music that gets under your skin and into your head almost the instant you listen to it. I guarantee that any self-respecting pop music fan is going to have to play this track on repeat once they hear it. [...]
Download: The Secret Dakota Ring - "23" Download: The Secret Dakota Ring - "The Fade to Black" Pop-rock duo The Secret Dakota Ring are released their second record, Cantarell last week. The twosome may be described as indie-pop by a few, but hearing the Dakota Ring's first single, "The Fade To Black", will remind those listeners of past hit-makers who've either been produced by, or prominently featured, Jeff Lynne. The orchestrations and high harmonies definitely recall a younger, more spry version of Lynne's work with Tom [...]

Secret Dakota Ring Cantarell No Office/Serious Business Records [2008] Fire Drills Review: Secret Dakota Ring is really guitarist Andy Ross from OK Go (you may know them better as the group in the treadmill video). Cantarell is Ross's second record under the moniker and it shows off his knack for writing and performing multi-layered indie pop that is catchy and softly engaging. Cantarell may never get the exposure of an OK Go [...]
Secret Dakota Ring svengali Andy Ross released second album Cantarell , this week on Serious Business Records. Check out the video for "The Fade To Black." audio: The Fade To Black video: The Fade To Black http://www.secretdakotaring.co m/
I don't like OK Go , but I am definitely digging this solo side-project, Secret Dakota Ring [ Official Site , MySpace ], by the group's guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist Andy Ross. That must mean he does everything? Okay. Either way, Secret Dakota Rings' second record Cantarell came out yesterday, and it's a tasty slice of indie-pop goodness. In this video for "The Fade To Black", Ross teaches some school kids (in an obvious homage to Jack Black's School Of Rock) how to play the track so that he can [...]
Tuesday, November 11, 2008 Today was suppose to see all of this past weekend's canceled content posted up all at once, but about 23 minutes ago I decided that was a bit too bizarre. So, what will happen instead is that this weekend will see a double packed podcast, two weeks worth of film news and columns from John Michael and Noah. I hope you have no plans. As for what will actually be in the spotlight today (and maybe tomorrow since I suddenly seem to be [...]

Secret Dakota Ring is the side project for Andy Ross of Ok Go. "Cantarell" is his second release under this moniker and for Serious Business Records. I am not sure why but, I've never really been a fan of the peppy power-pop of Ok Go. But Andy's songs with SDR are more to my liking. His use of whimsical string arrangements and horns remind me of The High Llamas. Secret Dakota Ring's debut, "Do Not Leave Baggage All The Way" was released in 2004 before he joined Ok Go, so the songs on "Canatrell" had time to stew [...]
Okgo guitarist Andy Ross has a solo act called Secret Dakota Ring . Very cute video! Don't worry, it has a happy ending.
Halloween is only a few days away, and hopefully we'll have ourselves lots of treats in the form of these new album releases. A couple of goodies that I definitely can recommend include two releases from Slumberland Records - caUSE co-MOTION's It's Time! and Crystal Stilts' Alight of Night . If indiepop doesn't tickle your fancy, and you want something a little darker, maybe take a look at Deerhunter's Microcastle or Ryan Adams and The Cardinals' Cardinology ? Actually, no thanks on either of those for [...]
