Zurich (The White Foliage Album)
The White Foliage is an independent rock band from North Dakota. Its founding members, Charles Gokey and Marie J. Parker, met at a band camp in July 2001, while in high school. Although the two lived 500 km apart, in Fargo, North Dakota and Williston, North Dakota, respectively, the two started what they term a "music project" by the name of Marie and the Flying Nuns. They exchanged tapes by mail and worked on music using four-track recorders for two years. In February 2004, they changed their name to "The Foliage" and put out their first release on Fall Records, a split with In Ink Please entitled "How to Make Better Love." In July 2005 the band released a mini-LP, Zurich on Fall Records under the moniker The White Foliage. The group also added a third member, Alex Abnos, during a tour of the Midwest in mid-2005.
In 2008, after an extended hiatus, the band released the Bright Teeth EP, marking a shift toward a poppy-er, more electronic sound. The band changed its name to '"Secret Cities"' after signing to Wester Vinyl Records in 2010.

“Birds which are the same color as the foliage in which they nest are less likely to be disturbed by other birds who want to drop in and chat, and therefore last longer.”
