URSA MAJOR – “DUSK”
(SINGLE) – 2016
Independent
This 19 year-old singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and record producer hails from Toronto, Ontario. He self-describes his music as Psychedelic R&B, a middle ground between the sounds of the past and the production of the future.
Ursa Major is the accumulation of years of exercise and exploration, an attempt to combine the worlds of psychedelic Rock and R&B. This is music that was made in bedrooms, sculpted in basements and school dorms. It was finally flushed out with the help of Montréal based producers Noah Barer and Cavewerk who helped to compose “Dusk”.
Lyrically intense, he dissolves his past and move into the future examining some of the fears of moving on, in love and out of love onward and onward again.
