The Dear Hunter - Antimai (July 1st, 2022) Album

Saw the band play their first show since the pandemic last night. They played two new songs from their new album Antimai, don't think they mentioned any titles yet. Both sounded quite proggy, along the lines of The Indigo Child, with Casey's funk influences really shining through - one of the songs had a slap bass solo.

They said the first single drops in the next few days, and it looks like the teasing has begun.

 

Excited for it, I really dug the overall direction of Indigo Child

 

wow

 

Here for it

 

Let's go!!

 

Here for it, are we assuming Indigo Child is on here?

 

Dont think so, that's its own thing

 

The Dear Hunter Setlist at Oslo, London

Setlist here is calling the new songs Ring 5 and Ring 7, with 7 the one they said was the single. So I guess there's a theme to the titles.

 

so excited for this! based on some past teasers, it's looking like this album is going to be 8 songs long, but there are some long songs on there, i think over 50 minutes total runtime. can't wait for the single, the live videos for it have been great!

 

Yeah both songs they played live felt long, very jammy towards the end. First new one they did must have been 8+ minutes.

 

Based on their statement in February when they rescheduled their tour to July/August, I don't expect a long rollout. They talked about the album release bridging the gap until the tour began.

 

Funky was right. This is really cool though.

 

Sweet, out July 1st

 

I like this a lot.

 

Into it

I think the rings correlate to the rings inside the triangle of the album art.

 

I’m getting some heavy The Reign of Kindo vibes.

 

i love this song so much and can't stop listening to it, so funky and proggy, and that crunchy guitar riff that comes it on the left channel at about 1:59... they didn't have to do that for us, but they did :') and that bass solo with the harmonics!!!

really digging this direction, moments of it almost remind me of the mars volta, it's very experimental and interesting while still sounding very much like the dear hunter! so pumped for the album.

 

Agreed! First band I thought of.

 

woah, Ring 3 just dropped and it is wild! getting some closure in moscow vibes for sure

 

This song is absolutely wild

 

What a ride

 

These two songs are absolutely wild. I’m so excited for this.
