The Witzard Premiere: Nashville-based Acoustic/Alternative Rock Duo Heatseaker's "Keeping Secrets" Music Video (Bree Lefler & Shannon McArthur)

"'Keeping Secrets"

is actually one of our favorite songs from this project. The lyrics portray the struggle of being in a toxic relationship and trying to come to terms with that reality and let go. Our goal was to use the stripped down version of this song to really draw the listener in on a deep level. Needless to say, we’re both so exited to finally be releasing this!"

Heatseaker

wrote within a recent emailed statement; one half of

Heatseaker

,

Bree Lefler

, wrote to me after I published a review of

The Mountain Goats'

frontman

John Darnielle's

"The Ultimate Jedi Who Wastes All The Other Jedi & Eats Their Bones,"

which was jokingly written (and ultimately, released) following a lengthy

Twitter

conversation with

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi

director

Rian Johnson

. Lefler is joined by seasoned singer/song-writer

Shannon McArthur

.

Bree Lefler

and McArthur first met when he co-produced her 2015

Bree Lefler EP

along with

Aaron Sprinkle

and she later went on to open for Shannon's band,

The Riflery

at venues such as

New York

's

Pianos NYC

.

Bree Lefler

then moved from

Colorado

down to

Nashville

this past summer, wherein she quickly re-connected with McArthur and they collectively decided to "[take] on the endeavor of creating an acoustic duo with a unique

Alternative Rock

sound"—hence, forming

Heatseaker

.

Bree Lefler

told me that she produces all of the music videos for

Heatseaker

and her partner

Shannon

produces all of the audio;

"Keeping Secrets,"

which we're exclusively premiering here at

The Witzard

, is

Heatseaker

's third release from a planned EP/album.

"Keeping Secrets'"

music video, like its recent predecessors, was produced by

Bree Lefler

with additional audio production handled by

Shannon McArthur

. Lefler filmed

Heatseaker

's

"Keeping Secrets"

music video this past winter within

Nashville

's

Shelby Bottoms Nature Center & Greenway

and cited some of their greatest sources of inspiration as

Dashboard Confessional

, Augustana,

Coldplay

, and Copeland. It was preceded by

ALT DIALOGUE

-debuted

"Battle"

and

Music Creates Us

-hosted

"Yet,"

all of which will likely end up re-appearing on

Heatseaker

's forthcoming debut release.
