Austra

Cover for Austra’s “Change the Paradigm” b-side.

Presenting a b-side from Future Politics, Austra brings the game changing / tide shifting single “Change the Paradigm” that is the answer to all inklings of apathy. Utilizing a mobilized assemblage of synths & sinewy rhythms; Austra continues to shake up the stalemates of contemporary discourse with action & activism that flips the switch on the standards of politics as usual for something more creative & immediate. In Katie Stelmanis’s own words:

I wish Change the Paradigm had made it onto the record because it directly embodies what I wanted to express on Future Politics—that the most powerful tool we possess for creating a better world is our own imagination.


Austra’s lauded album Future Politics is available now via Domino.
