The Dear Hunter : The Color Spectrum EPs

[Gunner Recall]

Have we talked about the new The Dear Hunter album yet? I'm talking the complete 9 EP collection, if you got the version with only 11 songs you are missing out.
Each of the 9 EPs has 4 songs of varying duration (I think the longest EP clocks in around 20m).

I picked out my favorite tracks from each below, just to give the uninformed a quick( there's almost an album worth of material here) snippet of the songs found within the complete collection.

Black: Bleak/dark, sorta like an electronic infused post-rock version of Brand New

Red: A bit scattershot, mostly straight ahead alt-rockers...they collaborated with manchester orchestra on one or two tracks.
The track below is possibly the best on the album, it's got the jangly guitars and spiteful lyrics of a Beggars era Thrice song complete with gang vocals.
(I do question its inclusion on the red EP, it feels more like a black EP song).

Orange: Slightly more classic/blues rock influenced, with a few tasty guitar solos.

Yellow: Very early rocknroll/pop-ish, a bit more laid back...songs you might here at an enchantment under the sea dance.

Green: Acoustic/slide guitars, very folk/country feeling. One of the strongest of the EP's, it makes me want to pick up and move to the mountains.

Blue: Very much like yellow, maybe a bit more dreamy (like the outro to the song posted below)

Indigo: A lot more of the electronic influence heard on black, minus the aggressive post-rock sound.

Violet: Very Act I / Act III Dear Hunter, these could easily fit into the "story" albums. Keyboard/piano driven riffs that still rock.

White: The opposite of black, uplifting pop-rock with soaring choruses. You might hear these played before a U2/Coldplay concert

I can't believe I forgot to make a thread for this. This collection is really really great. My favorite EPs are definitely Black and Indigo, and everything in between the two is awesome as well. Don't dig much of Violet and White, but not bad.

& if I could have sex with Casey's voice, I would.

i wish things that hide away was just left straight acoustic/voice

[kbit]

I almost always feel that way when I hear a song acoustic first. I like both, but I think I dig the straight acoustic version a bit more as well.

[TroySanders]

its just so beautiful and real. probably my favorite song of the lot. Also, I dunno if i really like yellow that much, but maybe itll grow on me.

[kbit]

Oh yeah.

Been listening to TDH for about 8months now, constantly. Black and Red are simply amazing. Red is my favorite because I also love Manchester Orchestra and I think they do a killer collab. I also love violet, as of now He can do no wrong for me.

That's awesome. Will probably sell out fast.
