this new album. "Act III: Life and Death" is released on June 23rd (in the US at least) and finally leaked yesterday. Not surprisingly, I already love it. The mix that leaked may not be the final mix I guess.

for those who know them or are curious,

myspace.com/thedearhunter

there's a whole long press release here

3rd release from them.

This new record has them bringing back, among other elements, the wonderful Beach Boys-like vocal harmonies. I could see many people around here and even the members of PRR appreciating that among other elements of their sound.

So, anyone else check this out, or planning on doing so on June 23rd?

You can always trust me to reply to a Dear Hunter thread! I've listened to this about 10 times since it leaked, and I really think this is my favourite album ever, with The Dark Third a close second...

I think the leak is an OK mix, but maybe not a very good rip? (It doesn't sound great on headphones).

Can't wait to hear it properly from the CD though.

yeah I have retired my play of this unmixed leak. My copy could be in my mailbox as early as Saturday. Glad to see I'm not the only fan around here! Once I take it in more in the coming weeks, I should put something more detailed up.
