Telling Secrets to Strangers

Telling Secrets to Strangers is the first album by the rock band Self Against City, released on January 9, 2007, by Drive-Thru Records' Rushmore imprint. Preceded by the self-produced EP Take It How You Want It (2005), the album was the first time the band worked with a record producer. It was recorded in seventeen days in April 2006 by the five founding members, two of whom (the bass guitarist Patrick O'Connor and the drummer Chris Trombley) left the group weeks after the completion of the mixing process in June 2006.[1]

The artwork and packaging of the album is somewhat unusual, as it is flipped horizontally. Unlike conventional CDs and books, the spine is located on the right, meaning that both the case and the booklet open to the right. While most of the liner notes read ordinarily, the lyrics to "Talking to the Mirror" are in mirror writing.
