Hunter-Gatherer’s debut album I Dreamed I Was A Footstep In The Trail Of A Murderer was voted the fourth best Irish album of 2009 by readers of this blog and now he returns with a 7″ on Osaka Records on September 10th.
The two tracks are menacing slices of sparse electronica. ‘Pere Lechaise’ is the sound of someone following you down a dark city street or into a Parisian cemetery as the title suggests. A video directed by Eoghan Kidney is after the jump.
