Progressive rockers The Dear Hunter have unveiled the latest single in support of their forthcoming album, Act V: Hymns with the Devil in Confessional. The acoustic guitar-driven track “Light,” accompanied by a Paste-exclusive lyric video, details an ethereal bond between a father and son.

Act V: Hymns with the Devil in Confessional is the fifth installment in frontman Casey Crescenzo’s six-part series chronicling the life of a boy at the turn of the century, and is the final rock record of the series.

Crescenzo said of “Light”:

The relation between youthful innocence and maturing dissonance is a theme throughout Hymns with the Devil in Confessional, and this song specifically expresses that through the relationship of father and son, and the way the torch of life is passed from hand to hand.

While I love orchestration, and dense arrangement, some of my favorite songs to write, record and perform, are the songs like this; an intimate moment with a heartfelt thought to convey.

Act V is due out on Sept. 9 on CD and download stores, and Sept. 16 on vinyl and streaming services, via Cave & Canary Goods/Equal Vision Records. You can pre-order it here.

Listen to “Light” above via the lyric video made by Crescenzo, with cinematography by Simms Wright and production by Erez Bader. Find The Dear Hunter’s tour dates with Eisley and Gavin Castleton below.
