Childtoy 02:37
Time Give me the time And see the sun jumping so fast I don’t want what you’ve found I don’t want you wine I don’t want your job I don’t want your Give me the time Give me the time Give me the blue blue tears Like we’re just done I don’t want your loss I don’t want you around I don’t want your wine This ain’t good for no one In your mind, a little walk In your mind, females walk Ahhh jumping so fast Out of the mad high house Under the sun I don’t want your grace I don’t want your race I don’t want your ways I don’t want your place In your mind, a little walk In your mind, females walk A small way, a little walk In your mind, females walk I don’t want you around I don’t want your wine I don’t want your job I don’t want your sound I don’t want your eyes I don’t want your I don’t want your I don’t want your

This One 02:36
This one is in your mind And travelled through your thoughts This one is in yours Not making a sound Shine and give me an answer Shine I stepped into three colors A wild impact in your veins A man who said “who I am, who I am” Shine I stepped into three colors A wild impact in your veins And a man who said “but I shout, but I shout” This one is in your mouth Colored pink and is warm Shine and give me an answer Shine I stepped into three colors A wild impact in your veins And a man who said “but I shout, but I shout”

Walking down a lonely path The dose is large It’s door to neck A wagon off track banging to myself Mulberries jumping on me and I see I don’t feel my life’s inside I don’t feel I don’t feel is going to happen What different kind What different lies I have to hear What different kind Nevermind What different kind What different I am the line on your back that you have to feel Let it melted Or so it seems Playing in a new realm Delicious and loving, in my ears A humble day dream is over And I see I don’t feel my life’s inside I don’t feel I don’t feel is going to happen

Slow 04:11
She’s a purity flash Sending me Her features Lovely things The demons are twisting my room My no-land The demons are twisting my no-land Captured smiles from the heavy flames I’ll be around dancing with tight strings The demons are twisting my room My no-land The demons are twisting my no-land Here it’s the light of love crackling my Out right zone, your place is not alone Who owns these objects That are twisting my no-land The demons are twisting my room no-land

Catapunk 01:30
Whispering waves She lives by it It’s lightning fast And now here we are Everything is in your hands All nature is in your arms Everything is getting less That we don’t like Smiling birds caressing your head Everything’s been given to us Everything is in your hands Hey, I give you the answer Hey, I send you a message It’s in your hands

Magical fibres Warm and wet joining us I thought this was a love box My sister smiles but cries too So why I will bite until I break my teeth A few ropes around him He felt warm inside but outside all is white His steps turned up into living stones To my head this journey equals “0” His fingers sucked the death that flows His fingers sucked and neutralized His fingers stuck I want your arms Whenever you need calm Your fingers stuck: “I want the top” Why a stranger Nature squeezed us But you haven’t expressed it In that mile you couldn’t stay For feeling high Gone too far I will bite until I break my teeth A few ropes around him He felt warm inside but outside all is white His steps turned up into living stones To my head this journey equals “0” His fingers sucked the death that flows His fingers sucked and neutralized His fingers sucked I want your arms Whenever you need calm Your fingers stuck: “I want the top”

His lies are around If I lie down His lies are around If I lie down You turn on me as I’m dreaming You turn on me as I’m dreaming I give myself If I, I don’t I give myself If I, I don’t I give you a snap with my fingers I don’t, myself, If I don’t You turn on me as I’m dreaming You turn on me as I’m dreaming You turn on me as I leave you You turn on me as I leave you Hey don’t go, I love you like a man Hey don’t go Here comes the loneliness I look around with my no-eyes I look around with my no-eyes He could smile in the silence He could smile in the silence He could break in the silence He could break in the silence Inside he’s got a nice dreamer Inside he’s got a nice dreamer You turn on me as I’m dreaming You turn on me as I’m dreaming You turn on me as I’m dreaming You turn on me as I’m dreaming Hey don’t go, I love you like a man Hey don’t go Here comes the loneliness And I tried to feel I’m getting mad We are fakers We are the first It is just too common I want to lie in your sugar I want to lie in your sugar He tries to smile if I don’t He tries to smile if I don’t And now you are walking on my seas And now you are walking on my seas On my sea you are now walking On my sea you are now walking Where do we begin, If I don’t Where do we begin, If I don’t I give you a shake with my fingers Hey don’t go, I love you like a man Hey don’t go Here comes the loneliness And I tried to feel I’m getting mad We are fakers We are the first It is just too common And I want to realize that I’ve been watching you And I want to realize that I’ve been watching you

You wake up, you should stay Is it a bad day, I’m asking I see several lonely voids In search for a fresh pearl I love them, your eyes sweetly crack I love like I touch your skin This is mine, this is mine, this is mine When your dream is sad This is mine, this is mine, this is mine When I look at your charming gestures I love them You blow me, sugar cane You’re perfect, a good saint I love them, your eyes sweetly crack I love like I touch your skin This is mine, this is mine, this is mine When your dream is sad This is mine, this is mine, this is mine

I wanna hear then look around I wanna hear, I wanna hear I look around, I look around I wanna hear, I wanna hear You’ll find the pleasure to hear I just came slowly to hear But I know can’t have everything Every time you want to hear, every time you want to hear Everything is fine Every time you want to hear, every time you want to hear Am I wondering? I am wonderer Am I wondering? Just get away from here Get away from here

Cheese 03:02
This makeup cries There’s no reason to make you deaf Look at your watch Hearthrobs deeply Turn around, turn around Spitting schemes and food By candles light I know better ways Different standpoints I remember her kisses And her kiss, and her kiss Hopeful inmates they were Screwed down his delighted lazy house Where crashing its hell God will bless your hands And your head will be a sucked sweet How could you be clear, how could you be cold I’m hanging on, playing songs to this shell By candles light I know better ways Different standpoints I remember her kisses And her kiss, and her kiss Hopeful inmates they were How could you be clear, how could you be cold I’m hanging on playing songs to this shell I adore your name Inside an spiral staircase and go like waterfalls above your lake

Around the world you and me ‘Cause I don’t want to live in a dream I’m wondering out is far ‘Cause I want to enjoy this time And tear all lines To care about you To really care You curl up Sweeten the air The angel was unaware of the love we made ‘Cause I don’t really shout and no need to feel too high Everything is going where? Yes you are Everything that I could know I know why ‘Cause the ladder can be tight Yes you are I won’t think until it’s later Were we sick? There’s no time you want to leave ‘Cause I don’t really shout And you want to feel sad? There is our trip Don’t look for It’s an inner voice you need to learn Then look around Do you really care? And you curl up? It’s just about time I wonder why To care about you To really care To curl up Sweeten the air

about

Things haven’t been easy for Usura. When Ana, Alfonso, Miguel and Gary (ex member of english bands Cement Garden and La Cucina) made their first record for Elefant back en 1992, the “Lovesick” Ep, people in Spain weren’t very receptive to their sound, a sharp, sometimes catchy noise pop with an edge.

Then, suddenly, their songs gained extensive airplay in the few most important magazines in Spain (“Lovesick” was the 8th best song of the year for Rock de Lux, our VOX) and everytime, their concerts were attended by a large number of people. No one knows who, our indie scene was invented then, and a whole bunch of new bands were ready to end up with the stereotypes of spanish music being AOR or mainstream flamenco. Usura were already leading the scene.
After one year of touring and droping songs in several compilations (in Germany, Japan, England...), the “Hake Romana” Lp have meant a successful comeback for Usura. If clear, dense, poweful and intelligent pop is what you crave, Usura are here to clear away the cobwebs that were left behind your speakers from too much distorsion, posturing and/or indie mediocrities. Their lyrics combine sensual images with abstract meanings. Some songs are somewhat poppy, with strong guitar melodies surging forward, and the musical styles cover a range of dynamics and instruments from loud and distorted to soft and semi acoustic. Tracks such as “Childtoy”, “Maze”, or “Sweeten the air” had something to do when they were chosen to support Yo La Tengo in their spanish gigs (as they did before with Lush) and for the rave reviews “Hake Romana” has achieved in several spanish magazines and newspapers.
