domino release 'feel it break', the debut album from toronto trio austra. on 'feel it break', co-founder and lead singer katie stelmanis, drummer maya postepski and bassist dorian wolf have crafted a dark, danceable masterpiece suitable for both ritual incantations and clubs; an album hearkening back to the sleazier side of new wave but still deeply rooted in stelmanis's classical and operatic upbringing. written primarily by stelmanis and mixed by damian taylor (bjork, the prodigy, unkle), the album rests nicely with your kate bush and the knife albums, but also conjures up the seedier sides of early 1980s british new wave (think the dirty alleys and after-hours clubs dreamed up by japan and soft cell.)

Austra - Feel It Break

Review by Nick Neyland

A band that’s far more in love with acting on strange ideas to make odd-sounding pop songs function than it is with any notion of technical perfection.»
