Becca Mancari, who has recently signed to Captured Tracks, has released her brand new single “Hunter.”
It’s a hypnotic and atmospheric song that plays with elements of rock, psych, folk and more to create something very much of her own mold, something like a mix between Sharon Van Etten and St. Vincent.
Mancari on “Hunter”:
‘Hunter’ was born from a true story reflecting back on a person from my childhood in church who, later in my life, would send me frequent letters in the mail telling me to ‘repent’ and that I was a ‘nasty woman’ for the way I dressed and for the things I sang about. I received one of these letters the morning I planned to go into the studio with Zac Farro, and in that moment I sat down and wrote most of the lyrics, finishing the song in the studio that day. It is a song written from two people’s perspectives: one of course being the “Hunter” figure and the other from me, saying ‘you will never stop me’.
