Every now and then a group comes along and you think you have them understood, and have them in a certain category but that’s not the way they define themselves. LA-based trio, HUNTR, prides itself on blazing a genre-bending trail of their own, with a seamless fusion of trance-like, alternative hip-hop… all while blindsiding listeners with bold transitions and candid lyricism. The group is led by Philadelphia-bred vocalist Gilbere Forté, and flanked by multi-instrumentalists: Karaganda-born Boris Likharev, and Boston-native Nick Audy. Fueled by pushing more progressive sounds to music’s forefront, the group wears a symbolic heart on their sleeve that reads — “we are not the same." Their self-titled debut is clear evidence of that. Sequenced like a literal soundtrack, it’s overarching theme is a sonic gradient of one’s journey from darkness to light. The gripping, hard and heavy opens of “Veins” and “Strange” transition into an atmospheric freeway drive home -- after a long night at 5:37am -- before mellowing into more introspective cuts like “Find Myself” and “Sundown." The passion and confidence woven throughout their sound has landed them 2 consecutive appearances on the soundtrack to EA Sports’ UFC2 and UFC3, critically-acclaimed indie film Monsters And Men, and a feature placement in a Netflix series. With their forthcoming sophomore album slated for 2020, HUNTR continues to prove they can do whatever they want when they want -- starting here.
