URSULA "Últimas Caricias - The Misfits EP" 7 (limited edition: 200 numbered copies)
LEJ 007
Release date : 11/4/2008 New
price: 6,5€

"Static Age", was the title of The Misfits ' second LP. It was recorded at a time when the static electricity of record players generated bizarre world's in the mind of young people; world's inhabited by human monsters as well as loveless murderers.
Besides, the infectious nature achieved by horror B movies like "Carnival of Souls" and by comics publications like "Bent", "Skull", "Amputee love"... created an atmosphere in which viruses and bacteria later gave birth to imposing specimens such as The Misfits: the band is to the underground what ferns are to the plant world: a living fossil.
Although it is true that in Spain we had our own Creepy comics -edited by Toutain- and although one of those might have fallen into David Cordero's hands to fit him for The Misfits' experience, his "Ultimas Caricias - The Misfits EP" is more than a tribute to the New Jersey Band: it is their terminal sedation, undertaken with the love and clinical skills that were demonstrated in "Autoayuda emocional" (Lejos Discos, 2005). However, the Royal Trux cadence of "Last Caress" and the lobotomized and Badalamentian "Soma kind Hate", both on the side A, are a refreshing surprise. It is amazing how Ursula have passed from gourmetting noisy punk to elaborate a menu in which a banquet comprising human carpaccio, industrial intestines and metal lungs, becomes delicately butchered nouvelle cuisine; a dinner fit for lovers.
We turn the record over - dessert arrives - and the zero gravity guitar plucking of "Astro Zombie" fills our palate; we seem to feel what yobbo Frank felt in "Blue Velvet" when inhaling nitro-oxide: ecstasy.
We had been yearning for their breath for more than two years and this record gives it back, boiling and slipping like a lash, like a vapour trail, like taking sauna... It leaves feeling brand new.

Ursula "Últimas caricias - The Misfits EP"
|
Norman Records, shop , may 08:
A green wax 7" from Ursula called 'Ultimas Caricias - The Misfits EP' This sounds absolutely nothing like I expected from the sleeve. I was expecting a Misfits/ Cramps dark surf rock kind of thing for some reason. They've taken the Misfits tracks and transformed them into tender little twee spanish indie pop love songs. Would you believe it!. Phil (Norman Records)

URSULA "Autoayuda Emocional" CD (special packaging, 1000 copies limited edition)
LEJ 005
Release date: 28/11/2005
price: 12€

"Autoayuda emocional" is a self-fulfillment guide, in ten songs of great instrumental value, of pain and overcoming pain. David Cordero goes one step beyond in his creativity and while using more electronic and complex sounds, creates songs more accessible in structure.
This new CD by URSULA on Lejos discos, mixing electronic and organic sounds with their painful lyrics, will convince fans old and new. If you enjoy John Coltrane, Hood, Arab Strap, Migala and Matt Elliot, Ursula is the band for you, and "Autoayuda Emocional"- with an exclusive cardboard packaging for this 1000 copies limited edition release- will be one of your favourite records.
"Autoayuda Emocional" is the perfect evolution of Ursula's sentimental and harsh music, defining in each song the cornerstones of a personal way to see life and music.
David Cordero and his band come back full of energy and attitude to defend their best record to date. In this new album he is surrounded by Cristo Ramírez, one of his usual collaborators in the band, and Francisco Calderón, formerly in the band Henry.
