Ulla will release Limitless Frame, a new album on Motion Ward.

Limitless Frame is Ulla’s first full-length on the Los Angeles label that last year released Pontiac Streator‘s Triz. It follows her exceptional Tumbling Towards A Wall, which featured in XLR8R‘s favorite releases of 2020.

According to Boomkat, the distributor, the album’s nine textural soundscapes see the Philadelphia artist “dispensing a broader palette of instrumentation to evoke finer, ephemeral feels with a more timeless appeal.” Her sound appears “more porous to influence” from strains of wistful jazz and blues. “I made this music as a way to hug myself,” Ulla says.

Ulla, formerly known as Ulla Straus, also releases as Ulla Anona and LOG, a collaborative project with Perila. In November last year, they put out LOG on Experiences LTD in Berlin, Germany.
