Los Angeles electropop act Ursa Major Revelation, which includes vocalist Ursula Rose and guitarist Dylan Rau of Bear Hands, have announced their debut EP.

Revealed today, Big Baby will be released on October 17. The act’s debut single “Tar Pits” comes with a music video directed by the act that can be seen below. Ursula said this about the single and forthcoming three-song release:

"'Tar Pits' is a story about falling in love with someone who is trying to escape a 10 year long heroin addiction. It's about being obsessed with their health and safety at all times. It's about needing to be their savior. My biggest takeaway from that experience is that junkies deserve love too, as do I, and as do you.

By the time I turned 30, I had a major revelation. I looked back on my life and saw a map. My life was a map of the men I have loved. Some of them were pretty cool, others less so. I let the map guide me through the creation of three songs, one for each of the major loves of my life.

Dylan Rau made these instrumentals in various west coast closets and I wrote most of the vocals at an Airbnb in Joshua Tree. Additional recording was completed at a fishing cabin on the Oregon Coast. The songs feature production and mixing from dear friend and colleague Chris Chu (The Morning Benders, Pop ETC). Original artwork for each single by my grandmother Sara January Price."

“Tar Pits” is out on digital services right now.
