Hunter
Cahill

Hunter Cahill writes the kind of songs most people keep to themselves. His debut EP Some Things You Don’t Know About Me arrived between 2021 and 2022: six self-recorded singles, confessional music that kept its distance. The press noticed. Austin Town Hall drew comparisons to David Bazan; Soundsphere called it “stunning.” He released all of it wearing a wolf mask.

After some quiet, Cahill returns without one. New recordings made at Estuary Recording with engineer Matt Gerhard go further back than the coping does, to a religious upbringing where love and fear were the same, and the questions it left him asking. The songs trace what follows: learning to live with it, and what gets lost along the way.

“Sometimes overwhelming, often heartbreaking, always compelling.”
