London, England’s The Boxer Rebellion announce the release of their second single “The Runner” from this year’s album The Cold Still produced by Ethan Johns. Alongside the release of the single is the music video directed by DarkFibre (Ishbel Whittaker and Marc Hawker) as well as an electro-rock remix by hotly-tipped Welsh trio, The Joy Formidable.

As fans of The Boxer Rebellion, DarkFibre jumped at the chance to collaborate with the band and turn “The Runner” into a visually engaging mini-masterpiece. “We took the cornerstone idea of honesty and its fragility from the lyrics and created a narrative that would be both completely surprising and utterly compelling,” says co-director Ishbel Whittaker. “We wanted to make something that was playful and naughty but also profound, raw and honest.”
