Canadian outfit Austra are streaming a new track, ‘Habitat’, taken from an EP that follows on from last year’s ‘Olympia’ LP.
‘Habitat’ is a pensive, lurking slice of synth pop that’s been doing the rounds live for years, but only now have Katie Stelmanis and co. put it to tape.
Pre-order ‘Habitat’ on vinyl and iTunes. The vinyl will be released on 500 hand-numbered 12’, out 17th June.
