Katie Stelmanis' Toronto-based band Austra have announced the follow-up to 2011's Feel It Break. The record, titled Olympia, is out June 18 in the U.S. and June 17 elsewhere via Domino (as well as June 18 in Canada via Paper Bag). Check out the album cut "Home" above.
According to a press release, Olympia is a more lyrically confessional and musically collaborative record than its predecessor. The lyrics, written by Stelmanis along with backing vocalist Sari Lightman, are "dark," but it's "fundamentally a dance record." The band co-produced the record with Fucked Up's Mike Haliechuk, with vocal production by Damian Taylor, who worked on Feel It Break and has worked with Björk, the Killers, and more.
