Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil, Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic, and Soundgarden and Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron have joined forces to form 3rd Secret — a new supergroup that also features Bubba Dupree, guitarist for trailblazing D.C. hardcore outfit Void, and vocalists Jennifer Johnson and Jillian Raye, who also perform with Novoselic’s other band, Giants in the Trees.
The band surprised fans by dropping their debut self-titled LP Monday night, which was primarily recorded and mixed by famed grunge-era producer, Jack Endino. Novoselic previously hinted at the album’s existence in February, according to NME. “I am really busy trying to finish a record. In the middle of some hangups — looking for a mid-March release,” the nirvana bassist said in a now-deleted tweet. “But it’s a secret, so don’t tell anybody!”
Thayil also suggested in a video interview last month that he would likely reunite with his former bandmates in some capacity. “I think the three of us have an interest in doing new things,” he said of Cameron and Soundgarden bassist Ben Shepherd. “We certainly like working together.”
