The seventh and final post in my series of recent Indecision Records releases, and I've saved my favourite until last. 'I Don't Like Anything' is the first full length by Ursula. The band hails from Southern California, and I first heard of them a couple of years ago when I picked up a bunch of Indecision 7"s. Their 'Meet Is Murder' 7" was an interesting record, and I have listened to it quite a bit over the last couple of years, but this LP really takes it up a notch.
I'm not sure why, but I love the front cover art with the skull and flowers, and I love how the splattery vinyl seems to nicely complement the flowers. The whole thing looks very pretty, which is in stark contrast to how this thing sounds.
Ursula have a sound that is hard to describe. The music straddles a few different styles, but the songs are short and generally fast and heavy, with a ferocious female vocal over the top (well, apart from the last song which is a really catchy pop punk song - apparently its a Green Day cover). Without doubt this will be in my list of favourite releases of the year, if I make one.
