"June" heralds the hugely anticipated release of Hunt's extraordinary new album, what were you hoping for? The album - a joint venture between the Nashville-based Thirty Tigers and Hunt's own label, godless-hotspot - arrives in stores and at all digital retailers on September 27th.

"'June' was written to mirror a person's complicated moodiness," Hunt says. "Some people are called pessimists because of their persistent dourness - but I think they are optimists. Sorely disappointed optimists. The song is my attempt to make one, in particular, smile."

Hunt will unveil a series of new tracks each month leading up to release of what were you hoping for? with free downloads available at a range of blogs and music websites. Among them will be the album's first single, "elP," which will impact multi-format radio outlets nationwide later this summer. In addition, free downloads will be available at Hunt's newly relaunched official website.

Furthermore, the Los Angeles-based Hunt and his crack band plan to hit the road in the weeks surrounding the album's release, marking his first national tour since 2008. A full itinerary will be announced shortly. A charismatic and engaging live performer, Hunt attracted critical praise touring both as headliner as well as alongside such diverse acts as Kanye West, The Roots, Coldplay, Mary J. Blige, Seal and Dave Matthews Band.
