Soy Un Caballo / Tunng : Robin -single- (B/UK,2009)****
Tunng and Soy Un Caballo each share one side of this 7" single, two versions of the same song by Soy Un Caballo, as if it are just two comparable songs that have mostly the pompompom rhythm in the middle in common, as well as a happy good morning feeling, as some opposite of a lullaby. Tunng’s version, in English, was performed by Sam Genders and Mike Lindsay from Tunng. It is a great happy entertaining laptop folk song with clicking and handclap rhythm shared by acoustic guitars and pompompom singings, and overdubbed lead vocals, a bit of keyboard and an ending with a laughing toy and laptop collage sounds. The original by Soy Un Caballo in French is led by either a breathy girlish lead voice (with backing vocals arrangements) or soft male voice, with subtle-Latin flavoured acoustic and some amplified guitars, minimal melodic vibraphones and a happy rhythm, including the intact pompompom in the middle and a small additional drum section. A great one !!
