Listen: New Light - Hunter As A Horse

Having found some fame in TV commercials and appearances in the soundtrack to Riverdale and American Horror Story, Hunter As A Horse are back after a two year hiatus with a new EP, their third, in the form of Walk With Me.

New Light is a softly played melodic ballad that worms it’s way into your ear through gracefully free falling synths, muted guitars and soft drums. Hushed vocals deliver a deadpan performance that capture a feeling of a disillusionment, and it’s all very reminiscent of Au Revoir Simone.

Hunter As A Horse describe New Light as “dreamy 80s tinged nostalgia portraying friendship, sharing experiences and living in the moment”. Vocalist Mia says:

“New Light is a nostalgic song about my childhood friends and how quickly it all passed while we believed we were immune to growing up. It’s about how we lived so much in the moment and full out as kids that we didn’t even notice time passing. And how just the way the sun shines can be powerful enough to bring you back to a time when things felt alive and wondrous.”

Check out New Light below.

It went so fast My head was spinning But time stood still even just for a minute And it feels so close Like I’m still in it And the new light brings me back We have been to the heart of the sun But we were too young to burn Wasting days like they were endless Living life... Like we’ll be young forever We’ll be kids forever They say it's never the way you remember And the past always seems so much better but my heart remembers all our Decembers And the new light brings me back We have been to the heart of the rain And how I wish that we could stay Wasting days like they were endless Living life... Like we’ll be young forever We’ll be kids forever Written by Mia van Wyk & Paul Gala Guitars by Pascal Glanville Mastered by Jacob Van der Westhuisen ​℗ © 2019 Hunter As a Horse
