Austra is teasing her new album 'Chin Up Buttercup' with ABBA-inspired early single 'Siren Song'
The album's tour spans North America and Europe, starting January 2026.
Austra, the musical project led by Canadian artist Katie Stelmanis, is set to release a new album titled 'Chin Up Buttercup' on 14th November via Domino.
Teasing the release, her new track 'Siren Song' was co-written with Patrick Holland, a songwriter, musician, and DJ from Montreal. Stelmanis describes the single as a "dreamy trance-like plea for connection."
"'Siren Song' exists somewhere at the intersection of ABBA, Ray of Light, The X-Files and Greek mythology," she explains. "ABBA inspired the early songwriting with Patrick. The Siren introduced herself to me while I was improvising the demo recordings and I quickly realized that Orpheus would be our common nemesis. Following a recent X-Files binge, I was heavily inspired by Mulder’s desperate search for his sister. Ray of Light came in at the end as my co-producer Kieran Adams and I were establishing the sonic realm which would become the backdrop for our Siren to lament the loss of her lover to Orpheus and his pesky Lyre."
