Based in Western Cape, South Africa, darkwave artist Hunter As a Horse has unleashed her latest musical magics upon the world on ‘Obey’ via Metropolis Records.
Drumbeats punch over pinched static measures as ‘Obey’ opens into a nu-goth electronic daze. Merging affirming lyrics of reunification and understanding, Hunter As a Horse provides a soul retrieval masterclass on this track.
“It comes from a place of integration rather than surrender and is a conversation between past and present selves, the fragments that once felt chaotic now finding form within something chosen and intentional. What might sound like submission on the surface is, for me, an exploration of trust, control and the quiet strength in allowing oneself to be seen and shaped without fear. The song moves through tension and release, discipline and desire, capturing that paradox where restraint becomes freedom. It’s less about giving something away, and more about stepping fully into a self that no longer needs to resist its own nature.”
– Hunter As a Horse musician and vocalist, Mia van Wyk
Placing the self front and center, listening to those core yearnings, and bringing them into manifestation, ‘Obey’ sets the precedent for becoming your own pathfinder. Arcane and empowering as always, Hunter As a Horse composes alt magic once again.
