Today marks the release of the album Feel It Break (on Paper Bag in Canada, on Domino elsewhere), the debut from Canuck trio Austra, and I couldn't be happier with the result. Check out the opener "Darken Her Horse", and epic drama in miniature. Yes, the music of Austra has already been desribed as a sort of dark electro goth-pop in the vein of Bat For Lashes, but that's a little too reductive. It's dark, yes, but also lush, addictive and hypnotic. Think of your greatest dance-floor experiences, those times when everything falls away to reveal the primal beauty of the groove, and you're getting closer to the feeling conjured by Austra.
Above you can stream the song and even the album in it's entirety (for a limited time).
