Discography : LES HEURES DES RAISON ( Matamore Recordings - 2007) Nome ispanico e zucchero pop a non finire per il duo belga Soy Un Caballo , al secolo Thomas Van Cottom e Aurelié Muller. "Les Heures Des Raison" è il frutto di una visione estremamente romantica e sognante, spesso cinematografica del pop d'autore internazionale, un gita bucolicamente cantautoriale in una terra in cui la luce del sole filtra gentilmente attraverso le fronde degli alberi per riscaldare i cuori. Delicati arpeggi di chitarra, piano rhodes , vibrafono e strumenti [...]
If it smells like Stereolab, I'm all ears. Belgian duo Soy Un Caballo (I am a horse, in Spanish) had their debutalbum produced by Sean O'Hagan , they use vibraphones, Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzers and have a French chanteuse (Aurélie Muller). Even Will Oldham comes by for a duet. Les Heures de Raison was released in June on the small, but sympathique Matamore-label . The understated, dreamy atmosphere reminds me of Juana Molina - like with her, it takes a while before Soy Un Caballo's songs start to grow on you. But [...]
Public service announcement: The symptoms become increasingly severe with greater water loss. One's heart and respiration rates begin to increase to compensate for decreased plasma volume and blood pressure, while body temperature may rise because of decreased sweating. Around 5% to 6% water loss, one may become groggy or sleepy, experience headaches or nausea, and may feel tingling in one's limbs (paresthesia). With 10% to 15% fluid loss, muscles may become spastic, skin may shrivel and wrinkle, vision may dim, urination will be greatly reduced and may become painful, and delirium may begin. Losses greater than 15% are [...]
Aurélie Muller ( Melon Galia , Raymondo ) y Thomas Van Cottom ( Venus ) han cruzado sus destinos en Soy Un Caballo , dúo belga de pop-folk acariciante, onírico, perezoso y rociado de bossa nova que acaba de publicar su álbum de debut, "Les heures de raison", mezclado en Londres por Sean O'Hagan ( The High Llamas ) y con colaboradores de campanillas como el mismísimo Bonnie "Prince" Billy . Edita Matamore . [mp3] Au ralenti (Les heures de raison, 2007) But Will Our Tears [...]
THIS WEEK'S FINDS week of June 3-9 "We Are Waves" - Dirk Darmstaedter Crisp, polished, and incisive in a Neil Finn-ish sort of way, "We Are Waves" alternates itchy, restrained verses with a gorgeous, crashing-to-the-shore sort of chorus. And yet--if I may stretch the metaphor to the breaking point, as it were--much the way a crashing wave is simultaneously composed of the water being pulled back to sea, so do I hear in the chorus an engaging sort of counter-movement that gives the song extra depth and presence. What I'm talking about [...]
I'm far from being the leading Bonnie "Prince" Billy scholar on the web, but since apparently no one's going to mention it, he appears (singing in French) on the song "La Chambre" on the new record by the Belgian group Soy Un Caballo . Their debut record, Les heures de raison , also features some other highly talented individuals including members of The High Llamas, This Is the Kit and Morning Star. Of course (and like much of the music on sister site Swedesplease) I have little idea what these songs are [...]
