The ninth album from this band from USA.
The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, synths, programmed woodwinds and vocals.
The Dear Hunter started out as a post-hardcore band back in 2006 with their Act I album.
Post-hardcore is not what we get here.
The band, through the main man and vocalist Casey Crescendo (probably not his real name....), has changed territory and genre.
Tamla Motown with some brass rock and pop is what we get here.
The music is rather sparkling and catchy. There are even some retained post-hardcore on this album.
The Tamla-Motown brass rock and soul elements are totally dominating though and the band has kicked some life into that genre on this fifty minutes long album. Not that anyone from that scene will notice as I am afraid that this band will forever be lumped into the post-hardcore scene.
The quality is good though and this is an enjoyable album.
Check out this album.
