She has announced the release of her self-titled debut album, arriving on June 9th through <a href=\"https:\/\/faithandindustry.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Faith &amp; Industry Records<\/a>. On the new record, Russell plays all instruments herself, showcasing her instrumental virtuosity and unbridled inventiveness in a range of divergent styles. The forthcoming <em>Ursa Major Moving Group<\/em> is described as &#8220;an intense, dynamic and intimate musical journal that shifts between delicate folk, stirring indie rock, flamboyant chamber pop and angular post-punk styles.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Welcome To The Noosphere&#8217; is the first stunning single to emerge from the album. Inspired by Jos\u00e9 Arg\u00fcelles&#8217; book <em>Time and the Technosphere<\/em>, the track &#8220;is a modern-day protest song about a ravaged planet, induced by countless hours of listening to Bob Dylan and watching C\u00e9line Sciamma\u2019s Portrait of a Lady on Fire&#8221;.
