Mar 07, 2013 Austra By Laura Studarus

On June 18, dark Toronto six-piece Austra will release their sophomore album Olympia. Produced by the band and Mike Haliechuk, the album is a shift away from the insular sound of 2011’s Feel it Break, thanks to a more collaborative writing process.

“Previously, I would flesh out songs before I brought them to the band, but this time I left them bare and let the others fill them in” explains frontwoman Katie Stelmanis via press release.
