Secret Rituals is the third studio album from Brisbane indie pop duo The Grates. It is their first album to be recorded as a duo, with longtime drummer Alana Skyring having left the band to pursue a culinary career.[2]

The first song to be released to radio as a single was "Turn Me On", which was first played on Triple J on 29 April 2011.

The band made the entire album available to stream via their website [3] along with accompanying videos that were made for each track which were shot and edited by The Grates themselves.
