Plenty of indietronica & dark wave on third issue 'Future Politics'
On third issue âFuture Politicsâ (Domino Records â 20/01), Katie Stelmanis â with her Canadian band Austra â draws from that same tasty indietronica/darkwave vat  that she brewed her previous âcritically acclaimedâ issue âOlympiaâ in. Her airy voice is draped over subtle beats and her lyrics â that dig quite a bit deeper than your average pop music themes â touch upon loaded political & social topics. âIâve experienced more sexism in my industry, Iâve witnessed the downfall of the middle class, Iâve lived through George W. Bush and Stephen Harper. But itâs not about âbeing politicalâ, itâs about reaching beyond boundaries, in every single fieldâ.
Stelmanis immersed herself in the cultural breeding-ground of Mexico City for âFuture Politicsâ and, aside from a brand new album, Â got a wonderful cover photo out of the experience. Â âA creatively liberating timeâ. Weâll leave it up to you as to whether you can hear that on first single âUtopiaâ, but vintage Austra it is!
