Double Double Whammy has announced the release of Liam Betson’s studio debut, The Cover of Hunter, in stores everywhere on July 22. Following an extended stint playing guitar in Titus Andronicus, Betson returns with the first release under his own name, following a slew of stellar lo-fi releases under the Liam The Younger moniker. The Cover of Hunter is Betson’s first batch of proper studio recordings and the results are evident from the first shimmering single, “Pocket Knife”. The FADER premiered the track, calling Betson’s songwriting “smart and sturdy,” while Impose Magazine described the track stating, “a tightly plotted indie-pop poem with the proudest of jangly guitars accompanying Betson’s boyish and hopeful vocals”.
