Hunter As a Horse (HAAH) is the South African musician and vocalist Mia van Wyk. Based in the Western Cape, she has spent the last few years self-releasing a diverse series of singles and EPs that combine electronically-focused songs with intense, thoughtful lyrics that are given a darkly cinematic production.

HAAH signed to Metropolis Records in early 2026 and have released a fourth single on the label today entitled ‘Obey’. “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,” says van Wyk of the downtempo, moody yet rhythmic electronic song. “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.”

Obey’ follows ‘Lighthouse’ STREAM | BANDCAMP, a haunting song that wove mythology and psychology together in an electronic soundbed; ‘Here’s To All The Ones’, a shimmering indie-electronic pop track tinged with melancholy; and ‘Paradise Lost’, a pulsating yet amospheric dark pop song. All four songs will be included on a new HAAH album, ‘Paradise Lost’, which is scheduled for release on 24th July.
