Made up of Tunisian immigrants in France, Ursula Minor was formed at first as Ursa Minor by the two Aloulou brothers, Omar (bass) and Sami (vocals), who were in the punk band Stavka. They were joined by their cousin, Ali Aloulou (keyboards, guitars), selim Zaoui (drums) and a former Stavka member, Moshen Ben Shaikh (guitar, programming). Several changes have lead to the joining of Elyes Farhat (keyboards), allowing thus for Ali to take charge of Moshen who has left the band to form the band E with a former Stavka member (Zied Hamrouni). The band released in 2007 their first album, which is also the first part of a trilogy, under the name of Andalib Sukut (fable d’Omerta Bucco). The music has been said to remind and been influenced by the likes of Robert Wyatt, Soft Machine, Mars Volta and Pink Floyd, mixing a semi-apparent punk style with a psychedelic rock basis. The album is in fact a one continuous piece of about half an hour, divided into chapters and is a very well done and varied psych/space listening experience. .
