Toronto’s Austra is set to drop a new four song EP entitled Habitat on June 17th. With the news of the coming project comes the title track, a song that Austra has been holding on to for 3 years. Singer Katie Stelmanis explains:
“’Habitat’ is an old song that we’ve waited almost three years to release. 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.”
