Frontman Yannis Philippakis told NME the story of this song: "It was written in this studio in Hackney, and originally the music was sort of hip-hop, kind of grime-y," he said. "['Lonely Hunter'] didn't have lyrics for a long time – I was searching for a lyrical identity for the song, then I was basically crushed on the day after New Year's Day, and went up the Oxford studio, which was when these lyrics about a new dawn, a new year, came out of it."
