""Sunya is our most ambitious effort to date," said the band in a statement. "There are a lot of funky, jazz-fusion type influences that show up in these songs. But the record still feels like The Dear Hunter. Lyrically, we explore a lot of dystopian themes while adding a bunch of synth layers. It's a bit of a contrast, but it makes for some good music.""
"Composed of vibrant synths and tall lyrics about tackling larger-than-life problems, the track's visual, billed as a "lyric video," takes place in a fantasy world where a traveler zooms over glassy mountains. Sunya will continue to expand on the sci-fi world that The Dear Hunter established with 2022's Antimai - if you can't tell by the ethereal lyric video for "The Glass Desert 1 - Giants.""
The Dear Hunter will release Sunya on March 20 via Cave and Canary Goods. The album features synth textures and tightly wound grooves, incorporating funk and jazz-fusion influences alongside the project's established sound. Lyrics explore dystopian themes while layered synths create contrasting atmospheres. The lead single "The Glass Desert I - Giants" pairs vibrant synths and expansive lyrics with a fantasy lyric video showing a traveler over glassy mountains. Sunya expands the sci-fi world introduced on 2022's Antimai, following teased concept art and an alternate reality game tied to the project. The five-track listing ends with the title track "Sunya."
