Austra @ Incubate 2011
Friday the 16th of September 2011 80's synth pop band Austra will perform at Incubate festival in Tilburg, Netherlands. Below is some coverage from the last few days including tweets, videos and a stream for their new album 'Feel it Break.'
Austra is the new brainchild of Katie Stelmanis. With a background as an opera singer, she soon turned to rock music and even ended up doing guest vocals for Canadian hardcore band Fucked Up. Influenced by this background, Katie formed Austra; retro/80s synth-pop in between Depeche Mode and Siouxie and the Banshees, mixed with gloomy modern electronic music like La Roux and Royksopp. Even with a spooky gothic soundscape.

You can stream the new Austra record 'Feel it Break' below. Check out the positive feedback it received only in the first few hours this was online:
"Out May 17, Austra's full-length debut, Feel It Break, is a strange and moody marriage of classical and electronica, though the operatic influences aren't always easy to hear. The songs are guided by the siren call of Stelmanis' haunting voice and orchestrated entirely with sleek analog synths. It's a throbbing, beat-heavy mix that's both unsettling and alluring."
