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
"The Ultimate Jedi Who Wastes All The Other Jedi & Eats Their Bones,"
which was jokingly written (and ultimately, released) following a lengthy
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
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
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
and
Music Creates Us
-hosted
all of which will likely end up re-appearing on
Heatseaker
's forthcoming debut release.
