Austra is the brainchild of Canadian born Katie Stelmanis, who with drummer Maya Postepski and bassist Dorian Wolf have a created a dark, danceable masterpiece suitable for both ritual incantations and clubs; an album hearkening back to the sleazier side of New Wave but still rooted in Stelmanis’ classical and operatic upbringing.
‘Feel It Break sets her remarkable vocal – reminiscent of Kate Bush, in both the fullness of its delivery and in Stelmanis’ taste for florid melodrama – amid a set of pneumatic club tracks’ – Uncut – 4*
‘Austra’s melodies are spine-tinglingly sensual; their robo-rhythmic thrust commands listeners to hot-foot it to the nearest dance floor’ – Metro – Ones To Watch
‘the most fully-formed new band you’ve seen in too damn long’ – NME
