Shaun T Hunter releases his new album The Great Departure on Local Nobody Records;



The follow up to the critically acclaimed Flying Not Falling (Borders album of the month Feb '05), The Great Departure is primarily a dark, elegant and brooding collection and is a leaner record than its predecessor due to the subtle recreation of a live performance aided by much use of world percussion. This resulted in a thick, raw and vibrant concept.



"The album tends to groove a little more whilst still staying true to its acoustic spine.“



Along with the first record it was acknowledged that these records were sometimes euphoric, sometimes haunting but that Shaun's work was nothing short of captivating.



Both albums first manifested and became a calling in Hunter's mind in the spring of 2004 when Flying Not Falling came to light, later to be described as;



". a record so mesmerisingly beautiful and so richly seeped in genuine emotion, yet one that still manages to sound uplifting and positive, is nothing short of miraculous. A sublimely beautiful album, a profoundly moving experience. Timeless."



The new album continues in the vein of being an unashamedly soul searching spiritual record; what is evident is that this is a writer whose darkest moments still resonate with hope, love and clarity.



The overwhelming success of glowing reviews along with Shaun's particular brand of live performance has resulted in tying up a 3 album distribution deal with Voiceprint www.voiceprint.co.uk; podcasts, along with tracks featured from the album, will be available on the Voiceprint site prior to the releases.



Last year Shaun won best acoustic roots artist of the year at the Independent Leeds music awards; nominations were received from a wide range of music writers, promoters, journalists and musicians, www.theindependentleedsmusicawards.co.uk.



Shaun's film and TV work has included writing the score and providing tracks for the film Bad Day; winner of best film at the Reel HeART International Film Festival 2005 in Toronto www.reelheart.com.
