CONFIRMS FIRST U.S. HEADLINING TOUR STARTING JULY 15
IN SUPPORT OF ‘THE COLOR SPECTRUM,’
DUE OUT JUNE 14
June 3, 2011 -- THE DEAR HUNTER is gearing up for their first-ever headlining U.S. tour, which will launch July 15 in San Francisco, CA and conclude August 27 in Pomona, CA. As with their recently wrapped trek with dredg, fans will be treated to new music from the forthcoming nine-EP collection, THE COLOR SPECTRUM, which is due out June 14 on Triple Crown Records.
Early acclaim for THE COLOR SPECTRUM comes from Alternative Press, Consequence of Sound and SPIN, the latter of whom proclaims it “a sprawling, heady mix, merging some of the challenging piano work of latter day Ben Folds Five with a bit of Muse-y, glam rock melodrama.”
Ticket pre-sales will begin Wednesday, June 8 at 10am local time here: http://thedearhunter.frontgatetickets.com/. Fans will have the option to add on an early download of the Full Length THE COLOR SPECTRUM CD, as well as an exclusive T-shirt for an extra $15.
THE COLOR SPECTRUM consists of songs inspired by the colors of the spectrum, specifically RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO and VIOLET, with WHITE and BLACK being included as bookends. Casey Crescenzo, of The Dear Hunter, completed the EPs while traveling the US, documenting every step of the process. The collection features collaborations with several producers and musicians, including Manchester Orchestra, Brendan Brown from The Receiving End of Sirens, Mike Watts (who has worked with As Tall As Lions and he mixed the band’s ACT III: LIFE AND DEATH), and Steve Haigler (Brand New, As Tall As Lions, Quicksand).
It will be available in the following formats:
• Full Length CD/Digital Download: Includes select music from each EP compiled on one full length compilation.
• Limited Edition Deluxe Vinyl Box Set: Nine 10" vinyl records available as a Box Set, which includes all music from THE COLOR SPECTRUM and a digital download of all the music. Available only through mail order via Triple Crown Records’ website.
• Full Length Vinyl: Same as CD, but full length vinyl features songs from each EP of THE COLOR SPECTRUM.
• Individual digital versions of each song and EP from the entire collection of THE COLOR SPECTRUM.
