Ursa Major Moving Group, the solo alias of singer and composer Ursula Russell, announces her self-titled debut album, due out June 9th via Faith & Industry Records. Today she shares its lead single “Welcome To The Noosphere”. Known for her mesmeric drumming for Snapped Ankles, Alabaster DePlume, Drop Out Venus and Blue House, the album showcases the London-based artist’s stylistic and instrumental virtuosity - she played all instruments herself - on an intense, dynamic and intimate musical journal that shifts between delicate folk, stirring indie rock, flamboyant chamber pop and angular post-punk styles.

“Welcome To The Noosphere”, today’s lead single is a modern-day protest song about a ravaged planet, induced by countless hours of listening to Bob Dylan and watching Céline Sciamma’s Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Directly inspired by a book called Time and the Technosphere, the song explores José Argüelles’ distinction between natural cosmic time and artificial mechanistic time. It took form in February 2020, on the precipice of a rupture, with this theme of dueling temporalities already brewing. Its psyche is split between pre and post-pandemic, finding our narrator inside a portal that merges linear and cyclical time, assessing histories, grieving losses and yearning for a deeper experience with emergent sparks of a new consciousness. 

The song offers a potent demonstration of Russell's stylistic versatility, together with a talent for combining the intimate and grand. Her fragile, close-mic’d vocals to the fore and softly jangling guitars build towards a fateful climax.

oh england
unpleasant land
land of my loves
you know i tried to leave
but i just can’t shake you off
oh england
i give you my ears
and you ask for my tongue
cross my heart and hope to live
should you not forbid me
invasions seem to come from within
oh england
you and me in somebody’s dream
impossible to see
when the dream comes rushing in
oh england
unpleasant land
land of my loves
turn and face the sea
because there’s no explaining
invasions seem to come from within
