Austra Set to Release Brand New 'Habitat' EP June 17th

Toronto-based Austra is set to release a brand new four-track 'Habitat' EP on June 17th.

Listen to the title track 'Habitat' below!

"'Habitat' is an old song that we've waited almost three years to release, says the band's Katie Stelmanis. "It didn't seem to fit with the sounds of 'Feel it Break' or 'Olympia', so we decided to finally put it out as a single along with 3 new instrumental tracks.

There's a lot of live versions of the song online but people have always pressed us to make a proper recording, so we are especially excited to announce these limited-edition physical copies of the EP. It's a euro-style computer music experiment produced with love from me, Maya, and Dorian."

The band recently completed US west coast dates with Chvrches after having performed at Coachella.

In addition to a series of upcoming North American festivals such as Sasquatch in George, WA and Field Trip in Toronto, the band have several UK and European shows over the summer.

Austra's last studio album 'Olympia' was written and recorded in collaboration with members of Austra's touring band.

The album takes influences from musical sources including South American wind ensembles, eastern folk music, 80s industrial and Chicago house. 'Olympia' remains a pop record of deep layers and subtle gesture.
