Innerpartysystem’s new video is now available for your viewing pleasure and it’s as creative as all their music video work has been in the past.
Innerpartysystem
Innerpartysystem’s latest music video for forthcoming track ‘Heart of Fire’ is their most personal to date. The band is known for their intense creativity and the original spark that exudes from each and every one of their music videos and, although it tells more of an autobiographical story, ‘Heart of Fire’ is no different.
Some of the video’s narrative is shot in stop animation but a large proportion of it was filmed when the band were on the road in locations across the world over the past year. Vocalist Patrick explains the logistics - “We shot it in hotel rooms and parking lots, airports and afterparties.
“This REALLY is our lives for the past year.
We’d squeeze in a performance setup wherever we had a free hour and some space. For us, the coolest thing about it is how large of a period of time the footage spans, because it really hits home for us how much has happened in the last year.
“There’s 8mm footage from our very first US tour, where we had no clue what the fuck we were doing, didn’t have an album in stores or an agent, and would roll into these random cities, play for twenty people and crash on floors. It builds through to now where we’ve built our fanbase and are selling out shows on two continents. A year ago we had a hard time thinking outside of Pennsylvania, it’s been a hefty transition.”
