Secrets and Lies, the third studio album from Australian singer, songwriter and guitarist Bertie Blackman, came out in April 2009, five years after the folk-inspired acoustic debut, Headway, that first put her name around. "Byrds of Prey" and "Thump" are the tracks that found their way onto countdowns, and the titles alone tell you this is a record with some bite.
It was also the one that made the industry sit up. It won the ARIA Award for Best Independent Release in 2009, and picked up nominations at the AIR Awards for Breakthrough Independent Album, at the J Awards for Australian Album of the Year, and for the Australian Music Prize, while climbing to 49 on the ARIA chart.
