Following the end of his tenure as guitarist, vocalist, and effects operator for The Receiving End Of Sirens in May of 2006, Casey Crescenzo began to write, record, and compile what would become "Act I: The Lake South, The River North" - his debut EP. Now with a fully formed band, The Dear Hunter returns with this dynamic full-length, written, produced, and orchestrated by Crescenzo. "It's not every day a band comes along who can easily be compared to acts like Panic! At The Disco, Muse, and Sufjan Stevens, but The Dear Hunter can - and then some" - Alternative Press.
