With a new album and growing reputation as a 'festival favourite', Urusen are one of the most exciting new alt folk bands in the UK.

Despite performing widely at UK festivals, Urusen have operated somewhat under the radar. But with a growing reputation as a 'festival favourite' and new album 'This is where we meet' (produced by Steve Osborne - Elbow, KT Tunstall, PJ Harvey) they're winning a new army of fans with their heartfelt songwriting and performances.

They recorded their new album at Realworld Studios and were picked by Peter Gabriel to be a featured artist on B&W's Society of Sound, joining previous artists such as The Unthanks and Portico Quartet.

Having previously performed at The Big Chill, Glastonbury, No Direction Home, Secret Garden Party, The Big Session and 2000 Trees, they have been described as 'Sweepingly memorable' by Metro and 'Terrifically atmospheric' by The Telegraph. Combining something intrinsically British with contemporary American bands such as Midlake or The National, their folk rock-tinged songs are laden with beautiful melodies, a stirring delivery and a lyrical story-telling style.
