We Are Urusei Yatsura was the 1996 album that brought Glasgow's Urusei Yatsura out of the Peel sessions and into the racks, the first of the three albums they made. Fergus Lawrie and Graham Kemp had met at the University of Glasgow in 1993, and with Elaine Graham on bass and her brother Ian Graham on drums the lineup was locked.
The name came straight from Rumiko Takahashi's manga, and the band carried that same bright, cartoon-strength energy into indie rock: guitars that fizz and squall, hooks that duck in and out of the racket. In America and Japan, their records had to go out, for legal reasons, under the shorter name Yatsura.
