Ursa Minor (Little Bear)’s ‘Only You’ cover
Here’s another new tune from London DancePop collective Ursa Minor (Little Bear).
This time it’s a cover, of an absolute Vince Clarke classic, Yazoo’s ‘Only You’, and frankly, it’s beautiful. With an undercurrent of experimentalism with icy sounds, industrial percussion and pronounced vocal effects the track veers into dreamlike electronic soundscape territory but it’s help in place by Little Bear flawless vocal rendition.

Ursa Minor (Little Bear)’s new single
It’s been a fair few months since we heard anything from London based left-field ElectroPop collective Ursa Minor (Little Bear), but they haven’t been waiting their time as their forthcoming new single proves.
‘Droplet Affection’ is a massive, euphoric Pop tune with more heart and soul than you could ever need. Musically ‘Droplet Affection’ comes across as and, almost Balearic, Summer House track played by a live band, which adds a nice live shuffle to the rhythms and gives the Ibiza style hooks and arpeggios a raw power beyond that of House music. All this creates a swirling, uplifting backing for Little Bear’s heartfelt and passionate vocals to cut thorough and take the track even higher.

Ursa Minor (Little Bear) are a London based outfit consisting of Little Bear, Yoshee, Evee and KTP who set about creating a kind of live, House influenced, synthesizer soundscape.
It’s really hard to pigeonhole Ursa Minor (Little Bear), I can definitely hear a root in the heyday of 90’s House and, more specifically, DancePop but they have taken that basis and moved it to a raw, live place. Like a garage Dance act there is an excitement, and urgency, about the real drumming and analog synth riffs and something almost freeform and jazzy in the musicianship. All this makes for a cosmic and compelling backing for the Post-Punky vocals. This is space age stuff but at the same time really down to Earth and, in a world of machine beats and quantized riffs, really human.
