About This Item
I'm so chaotic in love, sings Katie Austra Stelmanis on InchAmnesia,Inch the cinematic opening track of Chin Up Buttercup, the fifth album by her alter ego and longtime pop project Austra. You know Austra's astonishing voice - singular and operatic, it betrays a fearlessness and sophistication. She's the woman you'd be afraid to approach in a bar. Her voice draws you like a siren to the dance floor as the beats build toward the hypnotic chorus of Inchmy life is not the same without you in my arms.Inch Listen closely and you'll hear a vulnerability that sets this album apart from her earlier work. This is a grief album you can dance to.Stelmanis and co-producer Kieran Adams shared a mutual love of pop divas, Eurodance and hard-to-find techno. Madonna's 1998 album Ray of Light, produced by William Orbit, was a key influence in the later stages of album making InchRay of Light was produced almost entirely on a Juno-106 and a Korg MS-20 which we'd been using, so the reference point was aligned,Inch says Stelmanis. The album sounds like a mix of hypnotic dance floor anthems and elegant melodies to soothe your broken heart. Album Tracks 1. ?Amnesia 2. Math Equation 3. Siren Song 4. Chin Up Buttercup 5.
