Noble Hunter is an indie folk rock band from New York City. In July of 2012, they released their first (and self-titled) record. It debuted as the best selling folk record on Bandcamp in its first week. The band has played with artists such as James Vincent McMorrow and Maps & Atlases.

"Talented electric-folk foursome led by guitarist/vocalist Kevin Garrett, who founded the outfit on his own before expanding and adopting the Noble Hunter moniker. Their self-titled debut is a ... nine-song beauty, populated with pitch-perfect guitar-lines, smart dynamics and some seriously creative song structures." -AltarTV (www.altartv.com)

“Deftly bridging the gap between the lovely French electronic movements of Air and the touching classic American soft rock of a Gerry Rafferty or Michael Murphey— all the while including the subtle rancor found within the products of such otherwise grandiose bands as Coldplay and U2— Oceanographer arises from the BK indie pile as a singular, wonderful delight. Led by the sad, steady vocals of Jeremy Yocum, this group can easily aim for levels of midlevel major success, and if the right ears find them… well, let’s just say Oceanographer could very well end up a band you’ll want to be able to brag that you saw back when they were only playing the little stages in town."
