Official Announcement | Published: Mar 12, 2026 3:42 PM EDT

(CC) The Dear Hunter are excited to present "Marauders," the latest single to be lifted from the Friday, March 20 release of Sunya, the band's brand new studio album.

In conjunction with the single release, The Dear Hunter also recently launched a nationwide ARG (Alternate Reality Game) that has challenged fans with cryptic messages and puzzles that unlock clips of songs from the upcoming album, building an immersive experience around the world of Sunya. This ongoing ARG has turned music discovery into an immersive adventure, giving fans a unique way to connect with the band and the story behind the album.

The latest phase, specifically centered on "Marauders," has tasked fans with helping apprehend "stolen cargo" from wanted Marauders. By decoding hidden messages, participants discovered the real-world addresses of establishments in Rhode Island, Illinois, and Florida, where physical copies of the unreleased album were hidden, allowing a select few lucky fans to experience Sunya two weeks early. With all the records recovered, the band has now officially released the single itself. Watch the lyric video for the single below, and connect with the band via its interactive website here.
