Partner are back with a new single and video Fear That Closes the Heart<\/em>. Dressed in their best Depeche Mode meets Rob Halford outfits, the video was directed by sister hip-hop duo Eboshi and Contra aka Cartel Madras. This single follows recent songs Not Today<\/em><\/a> and Time Is A Car<\/em><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A message from Partner: “This was the very first song we wrote during our sessions on Gabriola Island. The song is about fear, and how the sensation of fear can prevent someone from feeling like they\u2019re living in the moment. We drew influence from Heart and 80s pop rock. The summer after we wrote this song, we went to the Folk on the Rocks music festival in Yellowknife, and participated in a collaborative project called \u201cEmerging Wildly\u201d with Celeigh Cardinal and Cartel Madras. When Cartel Madras showed us their videos we immediately knew we wanted to work with them. We were blown away by the cinematography and their vision. We are so happy to present this video that they absolutely knocked out of the park.”  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Message from Director(s) Cartel Madras: “When directing Fear That Closes The Heart, we wanted to reflect where the song lived nostalgically and emotionally. People always do stupid shit and can be stuck in bad relationships. But, when thinking of an enigmatic, but recognizable “back then”, we think of people stuck in the banal and then suddenly doing passionate, impulsive things. And, we also think of life being painted in a twee haze of pretty colours, monotonous but picturesque scenes. That’s what we wanted to bring to this track; a familiar, sentimental story of a love that could not be, but a love that is triumphant. Who knows what happens next, all that we know is that love made it through. I’m sure we could all use even a hint of that certainty in our current lives.” –<\/em> Eboshi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a brief period in 2020 when it was safe to travel, the band headed to Gabriola Island on British Columbia\u2019s West Coast where they quarantined themselves for 14 days in a cabin writing and rehearsing and headed into the studio for 7 days at The Noise Floor Recording Studio. Fear That Closes the Heart<\/em> is the third song from this session, the rest will be out October 7 on their new EP ‘Time Is A Car’.
