New The Dear Hunter album

2022-05-06 by Raul Stanciu STAFF | 40 Comments
Last year, The Dear Hunter revealed The Indigo Child, a new saga that started with the eponymous EP as a prologue. The band officially announced today their upcoming album, Antimai, due out on July 1st through Cave and Canary Goods.

In front man's Casey Crescenzo's words: "Antimai acts as an atlas of the fictional world’s last remaining metropolis, exploring its social hierarchy from the outside in."

The first single "Ring 7 - Industry" can be listened to below:



Tracklist:
1. Ring 8 - Poverty (4:35)
2. Ring 7 - Industry (4:29)
3. Ring 6 - LoTown (6:08)
4. Ring 5 - Middle Class (8:41)
5. Ring 4 - Patrol (6:03)
6. Ring 3 - Luxury (9:41)
7. Ring 2 - Nature (4:22)
8. Ring 1 - Tower (6:45)

The band is currently on a UK tour and will embark on a US trek in late July. All dates can be found here: https://www.thedearhunter.com/

Saw them the other night and they played a couple of new songs - wasn't sure how either would vibe in studio, but one was about as disco as I've ever heard them go. Curious to hear this

iirc the final act has a script for its story but there were no formal plans to make music for it at this time

That this is better than IC was. This is basically neofunk with a concept. Absolute blast.

The two "The Indigo Child" songs weren't really my cup of tea, but this is absolutely amazing. Very excited for the album.

"they've done it again, the EP gave me doubts but this is awesome"

forever boggles my mind when a band releases something that is clearly not supposed to be measured through the same lens as an actual release. Indigo Child was essentially a single (and a good single at that) with the rest of the ambient tracks used for the film as part of the release. i wouldn't call that an EP

unless you are talking about All is As All Should Be then ignore me

"The Indigo Child" basically was the soundtrack to their shortfilm or series or whatever that was. Not "really" a EP.

This is ok but loses all the charm of their older material, if this was the first song I heard by this band I wouldnt be eager to listen to more

What a great song. Really excited for the entire thing.

About act VI, they released a video a couple of years back that it wasn't meant to be I believe. It was never gonna be in album form anyway, more like a screenplay or something, but I do believe they stated that it wasn't gonna happen.

I will never understand how casey could release Act 1-5 and then just decide to scrap the final season ... then again, in retrospect I wish a lot of my favorite TV shows had done just this instead of ruin it all so maybe casey is a genius.

This single is great.

Seeing them next Wednesday and apparently they're playing Ring 5 and Ring 7. I'm most curious about Ring 5 being nearly 9 minutes long. Single sounds pretty good though! I'm pumped.

I remember getting the empty vinyl sleeve for Act VI and being confused, there was cover art and everything. Looks like it'll be sitting empty forever.
Song is cool and funky with that bass solo.

This is a bit random but this kinda reminds me of Coheed's "Number City" and I think that's a good thing.

wasn't over the moon for this but it was fine, and he doesn't ever make bad albums so album overall will surely be good

Sounds like Hamilton lol. I dig it, the finale is pretty hilarious though, this album is taking some wild risks

It's a pretty ambitious song. Like a "Night on the Town" but with a somehow more broadway feel. The lyrics aren't as touching as the acts sadly.
