Urusen

Back

Cousins Peter Beatty and Ben Please, originally from the South West of England, formed Urusen in 2002. Since then they’ve self-produced and released two albums, Life Under Seat (2003) and One Day in June (2007), the last of which saw Urusen meet three like-minded musicians in London and become a full-time five piece band. These are cellist Nick Ullmann, bassist Jay Darwish, and drummer Kieran Houston. It was also One day in June that led to acclaim in the UK music press and a publishing deal with Peter Gabriel’s RealWorld. Fresh from performing at festivals in summer 2009, including Glastonbury, Larmer Tree and Womad, it’s their live gigs that have been turning heads and in their rise from grass roots up into the current scene of acoustic indie folk they have been recognised by the music industry’s main rag, Music Week, as ‘British breakthrough talent – set to make an impact on the industry in the months to come.’ They are currently working on a new album.
