Synopsis

Album Description
This is the story of a boy, from his creation to his untimely end; from the beautifully rapturous to the truly tragic. The Dear Hunter sings of something to which we can all relate: lust, deceit, greed, and hunting. It's the brainchild of Casey Crescenzo, former vocalist, guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist for The Receiving End Of Sirens.

CD Reviews

I love Concept Albums...

""The Dear Hunter" is an exceptional piece of work that you should go out and purchase. If you like concept albums, you'll love this CD. It's like taking the TREOS album "Between the Heart and the Synapse" and taking it to a whole new level where there are no boundaries.



This is the second album I've heard of them...I like how it has progressed from "Dear Miss Leading"...but I still love that album just as much. This is more "rock-oriented" and a little bit less electronic. Definitly a step up as far as live goes.



If you love harmonies, layering, and clever/catchy guitar lines...pick this album up. If you like music...pick this up!"
A Great Purchase

"Initially I came across the Dear Hunter by mistake in one of those Amazon "if you like this, than maybe you'd like these" type pages. I saw the Dear Hunter and I checked out some samples from both Act I: the Lake South, the River North, and Act III: Life and Death. My immediate reaction was "this is a really interesting diverse display of musicianship, as well, it's catchy and enjoyable."



The album itself far surpassed the samples on Amazon, and I found myself immersed in this conceptual story while enjoying a wide variety of genres of music. The Dear Hunter as a band do well at combining 40's, 50's, 60's, classical, contemporary, rock, and even bluesy cruise type music that you would expect to hear on a tropical getaway. They are immensely talented and the singer doesn't annoy you with experimental styles. As well, a lot of the songs flow together and give you a semblance of something more than a cumulation of random sounds on a cd.



My favorite song is probably City Escape, but I also love the track previous that flows into it, which is called The Lake South.



Well worth your time if you are into anything other than straight radio mainstream and enjoy some personality in your music.
