.:: The Dear Hunter's debut album Act I: The Lake South, The River North is the story of a boy from his creation until his untimely death, bringing to music his journey with themes relating to lust, deceit, greed, and hunting. With only 8 tracks on the album, there is a sense that this is a young life cut short, not fully reaching the maturation of old age.
Beginning with "Battesimo Del Fuoco," the track resounds with Casey's a cappella-rich vocals undertoned by a haven of gospel hued choruses heralding the birth of the boy - The Dear Hunter, born to a mother who is a harlot and a life plagued with struggles from the start.
.:: The Dear Hunter is the ambitious project by former keyboardist/ sequencer/ singer of The Receiving End Of Sirens, Casey Crescenzo. The album has elements of gospel, soul, hardcore, jazz, and orchestral rock, taking signatures from opposite corners of the music spectrum and finding a melodic middle ground for them.
The Dear Hunter is a bit of a family affair with members of Crescenzo's family brought on board including the vocals of Judy Crescenzo, the drumming of Nick Crescenzo, and the organ sessions of Phil Crescenzo. Also, contributing vocal parts is As Tall As Lions' lead singer Dan Nigro, whose band toured extensively with TREOS (The Receiving End Of Sirens) last year.
