Future Politics – Austra

Future Politics

Austra

Domino Records

Toronto synth-popper Austra has returned with its third album, Future Politics. Though the band started off in 2009 with a serious penchant for the pulsing rhythms and the dusky textures of darkwave, in the years since the band’s music has grown both more polished as well as more nuanced. Though Austra was always attentive to tone and sound design, Future Politics shows the group at its most dense and lush. Laden with brilliant melodies and lyrics ripe for today’s political climate, Austra hits it out of the park with Future Politics.
