Graham Hunt shares new single & video "Getting Older" taken from his new album American Pyramid due out 28th Aug via Run For Cover Records.
Wisconsin-based cult favourite songwriter, Graham Hunt, is gearing up to release his latest album, American Pyramid, on August 28th via Run For Cover Records, and today he's back with an incredibly catchy new single, "Getting Older."
American Pyramid finds Hunt pushing himself out of his comfort zones, eschewing the homespun, computer-oriented explorations of his previous work and instead entering Minneapolis’ legendary Pachyderm Studio with a eight-piece band to try and capture a different side of his boundless creativity.
"Getting Older" follows "Riverboat Blues," “Waiting For You To Come Home” (which drew attention from the likes of International media outlets) and where those previous singles leaned into Hunt's off-kilter production and intricate arrangements, this latest tune goes right for the hooks. It's an infectious cut of Westerberg-ian guitar pop that's sure to be stuck in your head after one chorus.
American Pyramid arrives barely a year after Hunt’s acclaimed 2025 album, Timeless World Forever, and stretches out new musical and lyrical territory while retaining the distinct sonic identity that's made him such a beloved songwriter in modern underground music. Throughout the record Hunt uses his surrealist spin to dissect both the traditions of American indie rock as well as the unnerving detachment of the American experience itself.
Where his previous albums were mostly solitary, home-recorded affairs, Hunt made American Pyramid at Pachyderm Studio, the famous recording site of countless iconic albums, from Nirvana’s In Utero and PJ Harvey’s Rid of Me, to more recent records like Bully’s Sugaregg or Beach House’s Once Twice Melody.
Its 12 tracks use some of his most wide-reaching songwriting to date to explore the nagging unease and loneliness that pokes out around the corners of everyday life, and the ways we try to avoid it.
“I think a lot of the record is just about feeling really isolated and trying to cope with that, It’s something that feels very American to me, it has less to do with how we actually choose to live our lives and more to do with structural things about the culture we live in.
You can be surrounded by people, you can be a part of a community–but there’s this intrinsic isolation to modern life that feels kind of inescapable".
he says.
Graham Hunt can’t stop making records. Since 2019, the Madison, WI-based songwriter has been amassing a dense catalogue of singular music at a pace rivalled only by the quality of the output itself. Now already on his sixth album, American Pyramid, Hunt pushed himself out of his comfort zones, eschewing the homespun, computer-oriented explorations of his previous work and instead entering Minnesota's legendary Pachyderm Studio with an eight-piece band to try and capture a different side of his boundless creativity.
The result is an album that stretches out musically and lyrically, with Hunt using his surrealist spin to dissect both the traditions of American indie rock as well as the unnerving detachment of the American experience itself.
