Partner is the “mature” effort of Killer Haze (Yellowteeth, The Mouthbreathers) alumni Lucy Niles and Josée Caron. Partner is genre-defying and terrifying: part musical act, part teenage diary, Partner is unflinching in its exploration of intimacy, friendship, sexuality, drugs, and the existential predicament of being a lesbian barista in the year 2015. OK, so this came out towards the end of 2015, but I wanted to highlight this musical nod to my Halifax Grammar School alma mater co-attendee, Ellen Page. Worth it for the guitar solo alone. If you like your Breeders with the hammer of Nirvana, then their eventual debut LP will likely slay you.

Here’s Partner:
“Sorry we’ve been gone so long! Things have finally settled down after a whirlwind summer of touring, and we are pleased to share with you this small preview of things to come. This is one of our favorite songs to play live and one that our audiences seem to enjoy, so we gathered in Toronto to try to capture that joy and deliver it to you. We are proud and excited to say that this song has grown leaps and bounds since we’ve been working on our first studio album, and want to thank you for your patience as we work to make the best possible album we can.
