We don’t usually write about music, but the packaging for the latest album from The Dear Hunter was too gorgeous to pass by. You may have never heard of the band, but “Act III: Life and Death” is the third installment of a planned six-part concept album. The indie/alternative/progressive/rock band has been gaining raving fans across the country and overseas, and is virtually impossible to compare to any music out there, especially mainstream. If you have an appreciation for musical genius, be sure to pick up the album (and read the fanatical reviews). It follows a young man’s journey set in the WWI era. This is reflected in the creative and original packaging. As if opening a time capsule, the holder contains 4x4 “post cards” featuring song lyrics on one side and war images (with a Dear Hunter twist) on the other.
Guitarist Erick Serna commented on the design: “We wanted the packaging to look like the cover of an old school leather bound book, so Casey and our artist/design, Glenn at we are synapse based out of Sydney, Australia, collaborated on stylistic ideas. Thankfully our label was all for it and we’re completely satisfied with the outcome!”
