Hunter As A Horse interview and session

Hunter As A Horse

On meeting Mia and Paul who are the songwriting hub of Hunter As A Horse for the first time I knew I was in for a treat. Both originally from South Africa we had plenty to bond about, and with Argentinian drumming force Laura Fares in the mix they are poised for greatness. Mia's creepy dark folk songs blend beautifully with Paul's production techniques - creating driving, atmospheric mixes. Have a listen to the original tracks on Soundcloud and then hear them acoustic below:
