Product Description
CD Description
Soy Un Caballo are Aurélie Muller (ex-Melon Galia) and Thomas Van Cottom (ex-Venus). They live in Brussels and together have produced a delightful first album, with a little help from an amazing line-up of musicians: Bonnie 'Prince' Billy (aka Will Oldham singing in French), Sean O'Hagan (The High Llamas), Jesse Vernon (Morning Star), Kate Stables (This is the Kit), Delphine Bouhy (Adrian Boult, Par-rondo), Cédric Castus (V.O., Raymondo), Boris Gronemberger (V.O., Raymondo, Françoiz Breut), Julien Paschal (Sharko, V.O.) and, from London with love, Charlie Francis (R.E.M., The High Llamas, Turin Brakes producer). “Call it global village music: on "La Chambre", Belgian boy/girl duo Soy un Caballo (Spanish translation: "I'm a horse") and Louisville's Will Oldham sing entirely in French over what is essentially indie-fied bossa nova. Backed by nothing but an acoustic guitar, a Rhodes piano and a brokedown rhythm preset, Oldham and Aurélie Muller sound weightless and content, their half-sighed verses resolving into sweet choral refrains. Of course, the language doesn't hurt either; it's downright charming to hear Oldham's woodsy Kentuckian palette wrap itself around a French lyric.” – Pitchfork Media “Smooth harmonies and a smoother pop sensibility…as sophisticated as a Parisian boulevard as diffident as exhaled Gauloise smoke, as cool as Jean-Paul Satre and as romantic as the Left Bank.” – Nick Southgate, The Wire Tracks: Sous Les Paupières / Volet / Comme On Va Bien / La Bibliothèque / But Will Our Tears / Robin / La Chambre / Au Ralenti / La Raison Du Plus Fort / La Lumière Sur La Pelouse / La Droiture / Passer Des Jours
