The Sounds Of Ursa is the music and alias of Bristol, UK singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Helen Stanley.
Helen’s songwriting narrates snap-shot tales of falls from grace, introspective victories, touches of prevalent madness and epiphany elation in equal measure, drawn from her perspective of the human experience and the beauty of nature.
Although musically the songs have found their ancestral sonic home comfortably among other female piano playing solo artists like Grouper's Ruins, Helen's distinctive arrangements, and instrumental palette as The Sounds of Ursa certainly indicate a dramatic ambition at work.
Dreamy, ethereal threads sewn in by Vibes, Hammered Dulcimer, Musical Saw, and Water-phone ebb and flow in harmony with Helen's keys and voice firmly at the helm, her crew of effected electric strings and synths filling the sails, the rhythm section ably manning the rigging.
‘Imagined film-soundtrack’ instrumentals set the scene where songs can seamlessly emerge and take shape saluting neo-classical composers such as Rachel grimes or drawing comparisons with cinematic acts like 'Agnes Obel'.
The Sounds Of Ursa are undoubtedly in a league of their own and have harnessed a unique cinematic melancholic beauty.
The brand new, debut EP 'Patience Panacea’ is out now.

"...captivatingly atmospheric and imbued with a tangible, tender warmth..."
 
"The Sounds of Ursa offers gently enveloping swathes of sound to get lost in..."
 
"You may find yourself at an unlikely crossroad where the unsettling highway to David Lynch's Twin Peaks has been re-scored by the Cocteau Twins."
