Ursa Minor: Showface CD Release

Ursa Minor can take the Violent Femmes’ sweet little ballad “Please Do Not Go” and turn it into a smoldering reggae slowjam, somewhere between Blondie’s version of “The Tide is High” and Patti Smith’s “Birdland.” Singer Michelle Casillas and her band can wring every drop of feeling out of a song, whether it’s loud or lowdown, sweet or seething.
