feeling it break

I don't know if you all have heard of this Canadian band called Austra, but I just heard of them today and their new album, Feel It Break, is *good.*

They remind me of The Knife, but their melodies are less jarring, more purely gloomy; and their lyrics are less about horrific diseases and monkeys, more about... well... like, normal stuff. Like insanity and longing.

Put on your headphones and get lost in outer emotional space, where everything is dark, cold, and shiny

Oh, also: You can dance to this.
