URSA is the eighth studio album by the band Novembre. Although the album title is spelled in lowercase on the cover art and some websites, it is actually an acronym which stands for "Union des Républiques Socialistes Animales", the original title for the French translation of the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell. Katatonia guitarist Anders Nyström contributed to the track "Annoluce".[5]
