The Dear Hunter toward The Materials: narrative appetite, new tools
The Dear Hunter draw attention to music as a carrier of story. In The Materials that idea unfolds differently—through an independent progressive/electronics/cinematic project and its visual perspective.
Short answer
This suits listeners who care about a world behind the track, not only the track itself.
Pover mne is an entry to The Materials’ narrative side without copying another project’s conceptual model.
Dramaturgical hearing—events and shifts of perspective—is the real bridge.
