The mysterious Usio project first showed it's bewitching Janus-face in 2013 with Kuwa Huru (BARN 012LP), a collection of electronic blues for the dancefloor and the first full-length album to appear on Studio Barnhus. Kuwa Jasiri is a follow-up and an appendix, with four tracks stemming from intense rehearsals of Usio's emotive, energetic live show (coming soon, if you're lucky, to a dark basement or dewy forest floor near you): the breezing funk of opener Gonna Make It, the freakish stomp of Planet Dust, Over the Andes in all it's precipitous acid-jammin' glory, and the contemplative, elegant closer Pamoja. A1. Gonna Make It, A2. Planet Dust, B1. Over the Andes, B2. Pamoja
