The new single "Strawberry Beach" from Are We Hunting gives us summer fever

Today, upcoming indie folk songwriter Are We Hunting is excited to release “Strawberry Beach”, the first single from his upcoming album.

On "Strawberry Beach", indie folk and rock arrangements are woven together beautifully. The track is both well played and expertly produced. Smooth percussive rhythms combine with soft strings, creating a truly blissful arrangement that is full of melodies.

Are We Hunting is the moniker of Northern California based songwriter, Ryan Ayala. While his intensely personal song writing can be described as melancholic, the sound is both cinematic and anthemic. Perhaps the most alluring aspect of Are We Hunting is the rare ability to craft narrative driven music that is still rooted in hooks and melody.

Are We Hunting has drawn influence from a handful of big names in the industry, such as Bob Dylan, Modest Mouse, Lou Reed, and Tom Waits. He’s been able to take pieces of everything and create a sound that’s familiar while remaining fresh and exciting.
