Manhunt was the first and only single to be taken from Indigo Peak's fourth studio album 'Brand New Blindfold'. Though it's album was poorly received, Manhunt has since became an unexpected fan favourite. The duo performed the track as part of their 2020 gig Intimate and Live.

Background[edit | edit source]

'Manhunt' was one of the last tracks added to Indigo Peak's fourth studio album 'Brand New Blindfold'. In a 2020 interview with Fault Magazine, producer Andre revealed that only a handful of new tracks had been written for inclusion on the LP, 'Manhunt' being one of them. The remainder of the album tracks were previously abandoned demos.

Though the single performed fairly well, charting at number three, 'Brand New Blindfold' was considered a commercial failure charting at number six. Following this, the duo abandoned the project and parted ways with Ensemble Entertainment. Since its initial release, 'Manhunt' has proved an unexpected fan favourite, leading Indigo Peak to begin including the track in their live performances following their 2020 musical comeback. Prior to this, the track had only been performed once and was not included on the duos singles collection 'What You Leave Behind'.
