MUSIC VIDEO: The Dear Hunter – “Whisper”

The new music video for The Dear Hunter‘s “Whisper” was released recently.

The song is off of Dear Hunter mainstay Casey Crescenzo’s new album, Migrant, which debuted on April 2.

In the video, shot in black and white to give it more of an old school feel, a wonderful narrative reminiscent of King Kong is played out as a young boy attempts to save his lover from a wild beast.

In support of the new album, The Dear Hunter is currently on tour with Naive Thieves. Tour dates can be found here.

REVIEW: The Dear Hunter – Migrant

Artist: The Dear Hunter
Album: Migrant
Label: Cave and Canary Goods/Equal Vision Records

The Dear Hunter‘s new record is beautiful. This we can expect. But the level, the delivery of its beauty, this is where songwriter Casey Crescenzo and co. take our breath yet again. Migrant is unlike anything heard from The Dear Hunter before. It captures a perfect blend of elegance and transparency, while still conveying subtle theatrics that fans have grown to love about the band. Where Migrant truly stands out among other The Dear Hunter releases comes in not what Casey has done on this record, …

STREAM: The Dear Hunter – “An Escape”

Even before hearing “Whisper,” the first song released from Migrant, many of us were prepared to start our “best of 2013″ lists beginning with The Dear Hunter. After hearing said track, it was no question.

Good Lord, The Dear Hunter is incredible…

I’m a balloon on the edge of bursting with excitement for Migrant, the upcoming record from the band announced about a month ago.

What has me especially inflated today? This, a brand spanking new single called “Whisper.” Contradictory to its name, it’s anything but quiet. It’s spectacular.

The Dear Hunter Announce ‘Migrant,’ Release Album Trailer

The Dear Hunter have built a reputation for pushing themselves as far into the creative waters as possible, so it should come as no surprise they will again try something different with their April 2 release, Migrant. The group is not abandoning their multi-act storyline, but this release will not fit into that arc.
