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

I find this video really disturbing, like a distorted dream. Everybody seems to think it's crap and cheep, but for me it brings out rather strong feelings, I feel sad and worried. The missile at the beginning really augur something dreadful. Great song.

@Anton ...only people who dount understand deeper things, see a crap video! ...if you see it you know that it is not made as a cheap vid, that would not be made sense ;). Im a musican and love art also (also modern abstract things, but not all) but not all kind of art, some modern art is all but not more art itself, but here it is concept behind there!, as you say it, it can be a dream like video. Or something she will say! ...btw. that song is a masterpiece and absolut underrated!!! ...and i know what i say, i be self a musican ;)
