They débuted with the single "The Beat and the Pulse" (November 2010, One Big Silence), and their sophomore record, "Olympia", was released in June 2013 on Domino). The group released their latest album, "Future Politics", in January 2017.

Their debut album, "Feel It Break" (May 2011, Domino), came after a long sequence of bands for Stelmanis, representing a near ten year musical progression performing as an artist, then fleshed-out by a full band. The album made into several year-end critics' lists; notably, both the Toronto Star and New York named it the best album of 2011, with the former calling it "an outright stunner". Stereogum named Austra a Band to Watch on March 14, 2011.
Their sophomore album "Olympia" was released on June 18, 2013, from which the first single Home was released on March 7, 2013.
In 2014, the band released their first EP, "Habitat EP".

More settled and dominant than ever, the band's sound represents Stelmanis' influences tightened into a shiny metal ball — pianos give way to keyboards as songs build and pull, their urgent, dark melodies arpeggiating through multiple synthesizers, wrapping themselves around Stelmanis' voice.

Lose It
Austra Lyrics


Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
I never knew you, I never knew
I never knew you, I never knew
Your body's harmful, the very shape
The cracks are deeper, on every plate

Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
I get impatient, with every word
The more you ask me, the more I've heard
This is a thirst that I've never had
I've never bled for another man

Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
My face screams
My face screams
My face screams
Without an emotion

In the darkness comes, another, another
Hold her by the thumbs, the other, the other

Don't wanna lose you (in the darkness comes)
Don't wanna lose (another, another)
Don't wanna lose you (hold her by the thumbs)
Don't wanna lose (the other, the other)

Don't wanna lose you (in the darkness comes)
Don't wanna lose (another, another)
Don't wanna lose you (hold her by the thumbs)
Don't wanna lose (the other, the other)

Don't wanna lose you (in the darkness comes)
Don't wanna lose (another, another)
Don't wanna lose you (hold her by the thumbs)
Don't wanna lose (the other, the other)

In the darkness comes, another, another
Hold her by the thumbs, the other, the other

Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
I never knew you, I never knew
I never knew you, I never knew
Your body's harmful, the very shape
The cracks are deeper, on every plate
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
I get impatient, with every word
The more you ask me, the more I've heard
This is a thirst that I've never had
I've never bled for another man
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
My face screams
My face screams
My face screams

In the darkness comes, another, another
Hold her by the thumbs, the other, the other

Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose,
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose.
I never knew you, I never knew,
I never knew you, I never knew.
Your body's harmful, the very shape.
The cracks are deeper, on every plate.

Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose,
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose.
I get impatient, with every word.
The more you ask me, the more I've heard.
This is a thirst that I've never had,
I've never bled for another man.

Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose,
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose.

My face screams,
My face screams,
My face screams without any motion/an emotion.

In the darkness comes, another, another.
Hold her by the thumbs, the other, the other.
(Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose,
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose)
[x4]

In the darkness comes, another, another.
Hold her by the thumbs, the other, the other.

I'm normally not a fan of vibrato singing, but she does it so masterfully it's like you're hearing a new instrument for the first time.

Is anyone else freaked out of how much hers and Florence's singing voices are similar?! Both so beautiful and amazing! Magical, really.

Ron G

I can't believe this is only 10 years old. I feel like I've been listening to this much longer.

Paulo

One of the greatest songs I've ever heard, one of the best in the XXI century. Austra brings back the style New Wave / Synthpop, showing that currently still produces good singers and bands.

I'm from Brazil...
