Yea it's gotta be. They've been teasing a release date for so long. I got excited that they'd actually announced when the bloody thing is coming out.

Looks like we've got something inbound a week on Friday

the comments there on reddit mention the 1st single from The Indigo Child 1-week from Friday.

Timely for myself per I started making The Dear Hunter videos on my YouTube channel recently, so it'll probably be worth mentioning on there as well.

Preorders for The Indigo Child bundles are up on Pillar for 24 exclusively, then available to everyone else from tomorrow.

Says they will ship 15th November so we are getting this album this year

Just ordered the teal Pillar exclusive vinyl variant.

SoundscapeMN · « **Reply #3752 on:** October 19, 2021, 01:27:48 PM »

I'm not on the Pillar, but will havew to plan for tomorrow.

I guess part of me is not surprised given how long its been, Casey maybe wanted the 2 pieces of media to come out simultaneously.

SoundscapeMN · « **Reply #3753 on:** October 20, 2021, 02:55:20 PM »

yeah the preorders are up

When I started working on the concept for The Indigo Child, I imagined introducing the project with a record of music "From the Motion Picture", knowing in my heart a motion picture, of any length, would never exist. I would just write pieces of a hypothetical score, and release them along lyrical "singles", or theme songs.

As the Indigo Child evolved, I became obsessed with the world, its inhabitants, and their story. Though The Dear Hunter was working through the project's first full length, and we were all in love with how the album was progressing, I felt it couldn't be the introduction I offered for The Indigo Child. I threw myself entirely into writing a screenplay, dreaming of a way to create "Cycle 8": a cinematic prologue to the main narrative of The Indigo Child. Stars impossibly aligned, and with the help of an absolutely phenomenal cast and crew of incredibly talented people, the dream came true.

Now, the tether between music and visuals didn't have to be hypothetical. The score could be the score, and the singles could be featured in the film itself. The result is The Dear Hunter's "The Indigo Child": the introduction the project deserves.

After all this time, it is an absolute joy to share The Indigo Child, and its accompanying short film "Cycle 8", with you. I hope you dive in, and find beauty in what could be, because there's much more on the way.

Being more of a film score than a normal album, this didn't do a ton for me on the first pass. I don't love the heavy use of synths on this either as I've generally thought the TDH songs heavy on synths are some of their worst songs. Not really my cup of tea, but I'll give it a few more listens.

New album is titled "Antimai" and being played in-full on the
Tour Dates this March/April

no Minnesota..unlikely i will be going unfortunately.

Nel · « **Reply #3758 on:** November 17, 2021, 11:01:28 PM »

So now I'm confused. Indigo Child had a track called Antimai and both album covers (if that tour poster is the album cover) have the triangle shape going on... Is Antimai just like, a proper album/band version of the story while IC was like a film score version?

After revisiting Act IV recently, I've decided to start working my way through all the other Acts, starting with Act I. It's good, but I don't know how much more I'll enjoy it when I get to know it better. For the first album by The Dear Hunter, though, it's pretty cool and shows a lot of potential.

SoundscapeMN · « **Reply #3763 on:** February 13, 2022, 10:38:16 AM »

Antimai being mastered

Revenge319 · « **Reply #3764 on:** February 18, 2022, 12:36:36 AM »

I've been listening to Act II over the past week or so, and it has really grown on me. There are so many great songs on this album, and all throughout the album there's a lot of diversity and emotion. Aside from Red Hands, which I almost always skip, this album is consistently great. My favorites include "The Oracles on the Delphi Express", "The Bitter Suite I & II", "Dear Ms. Leading", and "Vital Vessels Vindicate". Vital Vessels Vindicate is probably my favorite on the album just for the first four minutes alone. If Act III and Act V are just as good if not better than this, I think The Dear Hunter could end up being one of my all-time favorite bands.

SoundscapeMN · « **Reply #3765 on:** February 18, 2022, 10:39:48 AM »

cool.

I actually have been making YouTube videos about The Dear Hunter catalog of late, and did a ranking just the other day and kind of feel the same about Act II after all these years, aside from Red Hands which I know a lot of fans and Casey himself don't care for. I still find it works, even as corny and is comes across as teenage angst. I'm still just a sucker for the arrangement.

Mr.Mister · « **Reply #3766 on:** February 23, 2022, 02:11:03 PM »

I finally got to watch the short film on the Indigo Child and the EP made perfect sense as a prelude to the upcoming album. Gotta give Casey credit for coming up with these stories that hook you in while keeping the music at the front of everything.

After seeing the short film I've started enjoying the EP so much more - I can't wait to deep dive this world more.

DTA · « **Reply #3767 on:** February 23, 2022, 05:09:17 PM »

Act II is the one that feels like it represents the band the best. It's the same sort of situation as Coheed's In Keeping Secrets. All of their albums are fantastic but II just has it all.

I do love Home so I can live with that. But my number 1 song by a long way is Lillian.

DTA · « **Reply #3771 on:** March 07, 2022, 05:37:55 AM »

Lilian is fantastic. The whole Blue/Indigo/Violent segment of The Color Spectrum is possibly my favorite group of songs they've done.

Lillian is #71 on my list. I know that sounds bad, but I still consider it a good song. I've only listened to The Color Spectrum in full three or four times, so I'm not that familiar with many of the songs on there (except for Home, which I've been familiar with for a while already). There's still a good chance that a lot of the songs on TCS could soon go up in my rankings significantly.

Buddyhunter1 · « **Reply #3773 on:** March 07, 2022, 01:06:17 PM »

Lillian and Home are great. So are Echo, But There's Wolves?, Crow & Cackle, Trapdoor, Collapse Of The Great Tide Cliffs, Progress... TCS has a lot to choose from!

Revenge319 · « **Reply #3774 on:** March 07, 2022, 01:44:02 PM »

My favorite song from each color:

Black - Take More Than You Need
Red - Deny It All
Orange - Stuck on a Wire, Out on a Fence
Yellow - The Dead Don't Starve
Green - Crow and Cackle
Blue - The Collapse of the Great Tide Cliffs
Indigo - What Time Taught Us
Violet - Look Away
White - Home

Yellow - The Dead Don't Starve
Green - Crow and Cackle
Blue - The Collapse of the Great Tide Cliffs
Indigo - What Time Taught Us
Violet - Look Away
White - Home

Those three are my least-favorites from their respective color.

What Time Taught Us would be on there too if Thermal didn't exist (the only song on the whole project that feels like filler).

Black - Never Forgive, Never Forget
Red - We've Got A Score To Settle (or maybe A Curse Of Cynicism)
Orange - But There's Wolves?
Yellow - She's Always Singing
Green - Crow and Cackle
Blue - The Collapse of the Great Tide Cliffs
Indigo - Progress
Violet - Lillian
White - Home

Yes, I agree with this. Just some really incredible song writing here.

I still feel like I'm the only person that Indigo does nothing for. My least favorite color by far.
