The Dear Hunter - Act 1: The Lake South, The River North

Photobucket

Hmm.. what can I say about the Dear Hunter without it being an understatement? Amazing piano, amazing vocals, amazing guitars, amazing everything. This first installment of the epic that we call The Dear Hunter starts off with the haunting yet intriguing first track Battesimo del Fuoco, on which Casey layers the vocals in such a way that it sounds like a professional chorus. Casey used to be apart of the band The Recieving End of Sirens, but quit after some difficulties with other bandmembers. Even though this relatively short CD has two instrumental tracks, it makes up for it by the average song length being about 6 or 7 minutes. This is the first "Act" in a play told in song about a boy who's life is intertwined with prostitutes and people of the such at the turn of the 17th century. This CD mixes many styles such as blues, folk, and others. I believe you should be extremely happy with this CD, because I love it.
