Development
On March 3, 2015, Casey Crescenzo made an announcement on The Dear Hunter website that Act IV: Rebirth in Reprise was in development.
"I wanted to surprise our fans with this release, as it is my gift to you all, for supporting me over the years, and never giving up on me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your continued faith in The Dear Hunter. I want to humbly ask you all to share this letter. Word of mouth has always been the lifeblood of this music, and the suggestions of good friends always outweigh a well placed banner ad. I leave you all now, scurrying back into my cave with my nose to the grindstone, preparing the next record for The Dear Hunter… It is coming along swimmingly, and I can’t wait to share it with you all. Please keep your eyes peeled for Act IV: Rebirth in Reprise, coming later this year."
On April 7, 2015, Casey began putting videos on YouTube regarding The Dear Hunter's 2015 Act II and III tour. These videos also contained teasers for Act IV. He released eight videos, with the last video being uploaded April 24.
On June 16, the single "A Night on the Town" became available for streaming on the band's official website, and the album became available for preorder.
On July 8, The Dear Hunter announced their forthcoming single "Waves", which was released the following day.
Another single entitled "Wait" was released almost a month later, August 7
The album debuted at #39 on the Billboard 200 selling approximately 7,000 copies - both figures are career-highs for the band.
