It's Because We've Got Hair, by Tunng (7" on Full Time Hobby)

 

This record left our Ant feeling happy.

I reckon TUNNG are poking fun at us with their new single 'It's Because We've Got Hair'. Who told them we were all bald here at the towers ay? Well except for Maggie with her sultry flowing golden locks. It's rough this time of year on the old bonce you know. The world can be so cruel to us folically challenged. Waffle waffle. The track sounds to me almost like a pagan prayer. The rhythms are fairly simple with odd sounds creeping into the mix and shuffling metallic percussion. The acoustic guitar melody is consistent throughout the track and moves it along nicely. I particularly like the way the male and female vocals are singing in unison but the female vocal is lower in the mix giving the effect of an echo on the male vocal. As with all the stuff I've heard by these there is a mystical feel and a post 60's acid vibe. The team here all love this band and up until now I must admit I haven't been fully seduced by their charms, this could all change...This 7" has a Department Of Eagles mix on the flip and like the previous singles is limited to 1000 copies on Full Time Hobby.
