[[The Dear Hunter]] is a [[Genre Busting|diverse]] musical project formed in 2005, not to be confused with indie band [[Deerhunter]] or the homophonous film [[The Deer Hunter]]. The band's lineup has changed many times since its formation, but at its core are [[Badass Beard|Casey Crescenzo]] (lead singer/multi-instrumentalist/producer/songwriter) and his brother, [[All Drummers Are Animals|Nicholas Crescenzo]] (drums/percussion/backing vocals).▼
▲The Dear Hunter is a [[Genre Busting|diverse]] musical project formed in 2005, not to be confused with indie band [[Deerhunter]] or the homophonous film [[The Deer Hunter]]. The band's lineup has changed many times since its formation, but at its core are [[Badass Beard|Casey Crescenzo]] (lead singer/multi-instrumentalist/producer/songwriter) and his brother, [[All Drummers Are Animals|Nicholas Crescenzo]] (drums/percussion/backing vocals).
The band's [[Pun-Based Title]] is derived from the tale told throughout the band's discography. [[To Make a Long Story Short|To paraphrase]], the story is basically about a boy who grows up in [[Wide-Eyed Idealist|complete innocence]] out in the country with his loving mother.
Line 15 ⟶ 14:
The band has also released several extended plays which are a departure from the story, most notably ''The Color Spectrum'' (2011), a series of [[Concept Album|concept albums]], four songs apiece, which chronicle the 7 colors of the color spectrum along with black and white (9 extended plays and 36 songs in total).
{{creatortropes}}
== General ==
* [[Badass Beard]]: Casey Crescenzo sports quite an impressive one.
Line 22 ⟶ 20:
* [[Concept Album]]: So far, all their albums.
* [[Old Shame]]: The aforementioned "Camera" and, to a lesser degree, the songs on the Dear Ms. Leading demo album that weren't redone for Act II.
== Act I: The Lake South, the River North ==
* [[Alliteration]]: "The Pimp and the Priest" has bucketloads of this.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: "Battesimo del Fuoco" is Italian for "Baptism of the Fire".
Line 35 ⟶ 31:
* [[Son of a Whore]]
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: "Battesimo del Fuoco" prefaces the story with a prophecy of things to come. [[Prophecies Are Always Right|Guess what ends up happening]]?
== Act II: The Meaning of, and All Things Regarding Ms. Leading ==
* [[Alliteration]]: "Vital Vessel Vindicates".
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: "Blood of the Rose" has a section in Spanish which translates to: ''"Blood, blood of a rose / Continue in peace without the past / Pray, pray for her soul / She will die in the baptism of the fire."''
Line 56 ⟶ 50:
== Act III: Life and Death ==
* [[Animated Music Video]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoAtvzImzGY "What It Means to Be Alone" has one].
* {{spoiler|[[I Banged Your Mom]]: "He Said He Had a Story" is pretty much the protagonist overhearing his [[The Reveal|soon-to-be-revealed Father]] recounting how the Dear Hunter was presumably conceived. The manner in which he tells his story [[Jerkass|doesn't exactly evoke the listener's sympathy]].}}
Line 66 ⟶ 59:
* [[Revenge]]: {{spoiler|The Dear Hunter kills his father with poison acquired from the Poison Woman.}}
* [["Somewhere" Song]]: "This Beautiful Life".
== The Color Spectrum ==
* [[Anti-Love Song]]: "Lillian" from the Violet EP.
* [[Break Up Song]]: "Crow and Cackle" is a sad song about a relationship on the verge of collapse.
