Ahh Autumn, it’s definitly here isn’t it? Scarves, the winter coat out from the back of the wardrobe, boots, thicker pair of socks. Once we get used to it it’s actually pretty lovely. If it doesn’t rain. Which it will.
Anyway, this is track of the week not a sodding weather summery! Today chums we are very pleased to present London-based indie folk band Urusen. The band was formed in Somerset by cousins Peter (vocals and guitars) and Ben (vocals and guitars), and joined in London by Nick (cello), Jay (bass) and Kieran (drums). Since 2008 Urusen have risen from grass roots into the UK indie folk scene and they are now working on an album with super Producer Steve Osborne (Happy Mondays, Placebo, Suede, Elbow, Doves, KT Tunstall). With Mr Osborne at the dials and this band’s ability to consistently write such wonderfully rich, wistful and harmonious material it’s hard to imagine them not becoming a “have you heard [fill in latest buzz band name here] yet?” type-of-act very soon.
The featured track Train Song has the sort of homely comforting vibes that makes you want to take a day off, escape to a cottage in the woods, light a big fire, curl up by the window and watch the wind bully the trees into relinquishing their brownie, yellow foliage! (hm, yes….. I think I need to get out of the city.)
Here’s what they say:
‘Sweepingly memorable.’Metro
‘Terrifically atmospheric.’Telegraph
