Black vinyl LP pressing includes digital download. Future Politics, Austra's third album calls for radical hope: "a commitment to replace the approaching dystopia," says Katie Stelmanis. "Not just hope in the future, but the idea that everyone is required to help write it, and the boundaries of what it can look like are both fascinating and endless." A collection of urgent, but disciplined anthems for dancefloor and headphones, Future Politics asks each of us to remember that apocalypse is not an inevitability, but the product of human decision-making. The album is radicalism distilled: to galvanic beats, gorgeous, kinetic melodies, and the vulnerable majesty of Stelmanis's voice. With it's steady, propulsive beats and siren-like synth hooks, it's both anthem and ultimatum: we have a duty to imagine better, and to imagine big. Released 1/20/17 on Domino Records.
