Listen: Austra Share ‘Painful Like’ Track

‘Painful Like’ is the new single to emerge from Austra’a forthcoming ‘Olympia’ record. Domino and Paper Bag release the album on 18th June (US - Paper Bag in Canada) and 19th June (Worldwide).

Following on from ‘Home’, this is the sound of a group latching onto their utmost potential after catching sight of it dashing within the radar. Katie Stelmanis’ vocals are constant and commanding, circuiting a heady, synthetic backdrop like it’s foul prey.
