Hunter/Prey is your the fifth studio album released by Indigo Peak. The LP was the duo's first full collection of new material since their critically maligned fourth offering "Brand New Blindfold."

The album was a success, dubbed critically as a "return to form," and earning the brothers their fourth number one album. Preceding the album release was lead single "Hold Me Back." Critically acclaimed track "Love Is Violence," was selected as a second single, however the duos decision to scale back promotional duties and exit the public arena led to lacklustre performance. During promotion for the LP, Indigo Peak embarked upon their sold out What We Left Behind Tour, during which they performed their greatest hits and tracks from the new release.
