Urusen: Now that she has flown
by Julian Gratton
Anyone who has ever visited the Creative Department at Red C will know that we love our music… and there’s nothing more we like than discovering some new sounds to tap our little feet to during the working day… that is until Dawn makes our ears bleed by putting on some awful rave radio station like Energy 98.
The band Urusen have just supplied the music for our recent TV Commercial for Cottages4you, and as well as the track ‘Now that she has flown’, that features in the advert… they have some other great tunes as well… which is why we thought we’d do a little piece about that as we also quite like listening to them to help our creativity.
Cousins Peter Beatty and Ben Please, originally from the South West, 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 serious 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.’
Anyway, if you’re after the track from the Cottages4you TV Advert you can get it from iTunes… you can also listen to a live version below.
