About
Five albums with rich vinyl editions, from 2011 debut Feel It Break to 2025's Chin Up Buttercup.
Originating in Toronto, Austra emerged in 2009 with frontwoman Katie Stelmanis at its core. They combine electronic, synthpop, and indie pop elements with a blend of experimental and darkwave stylings. The band's vinyl catalog includes significant releases such as Feel It Break (2011), Olympia (2013), and their critically diverse 2020 album Hirudin.
Vinyl editions range from limited editions to numbered test pressings, especially on the Domino label. Recent works include Swan Song (2023) and Chin Up Buttercup, slated for 2025 release. This ongoing evolution reflects their consistent presence in Canadian electronic and indie music scenes.
