Future Politics
“Although it's an intertextual and oftentimes challenging listen, Future Politics is also a compelling call to action to collectively conceive of the future and its manifold possibilities.”
Chin Up Buttercup
“On her latest album, Katie Stelmanis processes heartbreak by embracing club-ready synth-pop. It’s an impressive leap forward after years of steadily expanding the project’s sound.”
Future Politics
“With a newly pared down sound, Austra’s latest synth-pop record concerns itself primarily with the dark side of “the personal is political.” But it is essentially optimistic, and presents solutions.”

“Katie Stelmanis’ fourth album swings for big, embodied pop moments without shying from the strangeness and discordance that’s animated the project since the beginning.”
Feel It Break
“Latest in a line of goth-pop artists-- think Bat for Lashes or Zola Jesus-- to emerge in recent years issues a promising Domino debut.”
