Haih Or Amortecedor is the eighth album by the Brazilian rock band Os Mutantes, being their first studio album since 1974's Tudo Foi Feito Pelo Sol and the first one of new material since 1976's Mutantes Ao Vivo.

Following the band's 2006 reunion at London's Barbican Theatre, Mutantes founder Sergio Dias commenced work on Mutantes' first studio album in 35 years. Dias collaborated with Tom Zé and Jorge Ben (who wrote the band's original hit "Minha Menina").[1]

“ Living the conception and birth of this album, as an individual, was the most intense experience, for it was as if time has ceased to exist, and I was bouncing from life to life, decades through decades, revisiting myself as a 16 year old boy playing guitar and feeling so free and, as any teenager, indestructible. ”

—Sergio Dias, May 2009[2]

The word "haih" means "crow" in the Shoshone language.
