AUSTRA ::: go dark go synth go high ::: the beat & the pulse + Lose it (official video)

after a dark week with sunshine, stress, thunder and sunburn my ears got pierced one evening listening to a song by AUSTRA.

A classical schooled friend pointed out the greatness of Katie Stelmanis's voice and the almost opera-like clearness with baroque influences.


After some looking-up, I discovered, that this Toronto based trio brings us multi-layerd baroqbeatNsynth-tronica but without thumbling into the goth-trap. Think The Knife for their Darwin-Opera feat. Planning to Rock for the classical instruments.



The voice, the beats, the words, their openminded sexuality, the synths and the video's melt together and make AUSTRA a band floating in a darkish thrilling and zooming world ready to be discovered and a must-see in concert.


Give it a try and you'll get mesmerized!
