Music
Hunter, Hunter is both a homecoming and a departure for multiple ECMA winner Amelia Curran. The album, her first recorded in her hometown of St. John’s, signals Curran’s definitive arrival onto national and international scenes.
Rich in metaphor, language and instrumentation, Hunter, Hunter speaks to unrequited longing, the notion of belonging and reflections on love both lost and found. “It’s Hunter, Hunter, not Hunter, Gatherer, if that makes sense,” she says. “It conveys a kind of haunting – a vibe of necessary cruelty to dig down to the deeper meanings of being alive day by day.” From acoustic numbers to full band tracks, Curran grapples with notions of self,
memory, forgiveness and desire. “There is a reason matters of the heart have been the subject for artists for centuries. It is uncontrollable and owns us. Even to give up on love is to break one's own heart, which in itself is a precious part of love.”
That preciousness of heartache takes on an unabashed savagery in “The Mistress”, a standout track on Hunter, Hunter. “The Mistress” is a no nonsense manifesto, a calling out of love’s frivolity and one’s willingness to play the game. Listen to “The Mistress” and marvel at Curran’s ability to cut to the heart, and to cut it open.
