New Music: Austra- Habitat

Austra have announced a new four song EP,  and "Habitat" is the title track and first single from the release. If you are a huge fan of the band you may recognize the song. The track is something they have been playing live for a couple of years now, but they never got around to releasing it. "Habitat" sounds like their darker, older material, and lacks the shine of the songs off of Olympia. That's okay, I prefer the icier, gloomy version of Austra. Listen below:

Habitat is out June 17th via Paper Bag.

New Music: Austra- Hurt Me Now

One final preview before Austra release their brand new LP Olympia tomorrow. Check out the third single "Hurt Me Now" or stream the whole album over at Exclaim.

Olympia is out now in Europe or it will be out in a few hours in North America via Paper Bag/Domino.

New Music: Austra- Painful Like

Toronto gothic synth pop band Austra are gearing up for their sophomore album, Olympia, which will be released June 18th via Paper Bag/Domino.

"Painful Like" is the second track to be previewed from the album and even though the song is chilly, you can hear a distinctive change from the band's earlier works. That's because the production of this song was influenced by old Chicago house beats.

Also, it is important to point out that the lyrics deal growing up gay in a small town. Listen below:
