Austra is certainly one the most underated bands to these days.
SO TRUE
same with iamamiwhoami
Absolutely
Two years later and I still listen to this everyday
it's just sooooooooo good
This song and video cleared my skin, straightened my hair and beat me in the face. Thank you.
I can beat you in the face too if you want. But only if you are a man.
@@lindamariamargareta6262 That's oddly disturbing.
@@jasondashney Linda has some issues
Right on!
There is something about Austra's music that it is timeless for me.
I forgot about her for a couple years. Was looking over some old playlists a few days ago and found her again. :)
I thank spotify for recommending me such an amazing artist.
Yeah, I want to thank you spotify too! and Austra of course :)
her voice is UNIQUE
Dramatic Kid if ur looking for similar artists, try grimes (especially her earlier stuff) and purity ring!
Geidi Primes is one of my favorite albums ever :)
Dramatic Kid her voice sounds remarkably like Florence welch's- give Florence and the machine a listen! :)
I think their voices sound similar but at the same time they're also different especially when Katie hits high notes.
Anyway I love Florence :)
I was thinking that Florence and Austra sounded most similar in both their head voices.
One of the most interesting pop band of these years...
Some of the most beautiful vocals I have ever heard in my life, strait through the flesh and body to the soul.
This was the song I chose to listen first in 2020.
Oha voll schöne Stimme 😊😁
interesting fusion of styles. The chord changes remind me of early new wave while utilizing a more modern sounding digital palette. She's excellent.
Nowhere Girl from B movie is very reminiscent of the melody dance beat, piano keyboards...
@@yvc9 No, it's not, there totally different styles. I was 18 years old when "Nowhere Girl" was released. It seems to me they were doing A Flock of Seagulls riffs with their keyboard and the tempo was much faster than "Utopia".
@@moondoggieist hence my use of the word reminiscent. It reminds ME of that song. It is MY opinion. Not yours. You think whatever you want. But don't tell me I'm wrong about interpreting things according to my own experience.
@@yvc9 Opinions are based on emotion most of the time and I honor your opinion. I'm coming from experience of being a club DJ from 1983 to 1993. I still have over 1,000 vinyl records and over 700 compact discs just in storage just from the '80s and '90s, let alone 2,200 newer music for the last 2.5 decades on digital downloads on my computers. I see your point on a slight tempo on both tracks! I spent an hour playing them and overlapping them. There is tolerable mixing between the two, but not back-to-back if you're putting down there beats on a dance floor. My apologies if I offended you.
@@moondoggieist if you djd back then well i was one of the persons on the dance floor. 83 84 were the beginning of my club days. Your assessment comes from a more technical point of view than mine. Mine was of a more esoteric nature. I just think both songs share a certain "feel". Thats all. Highly subjective but still only my opinion.
It should be illegal to be so beautiful and cute aaaaa omg she is so gorgeous it’s hypnotizing
It's been soooo long, and so far it looks like she's made a great return
my man
I love that line, "My work is valid, I can't prove it but I know." Something about the bravery of a lone artist standing up to the dehumanizing force of global capitalism that wants to silence this perspective. This song is like a modern version of Imagine.
“My work is valid, I can’t prove it but I know.” Said by every dictator
@@marzappel8858 That has nothing to do with the video.
@@marzappel8858 lol dude fuck outta here. Artists are oppressed and systematically killed by governments. They look for us inspiration all while trying to eat us alive.
"AUSTRA YOUR VOICE AN ALMIGHTY SOUND" I like the definition of the album Future Politics, propelled by economic and philosophical texts she was reading throughout the album’s creation.
I always come back here. Shes like a goddamn Siren and her voice commands me.
this is still such a tune! best song from the past year. wish she would still come to amsterdam one more time
I spin this record all the time in my studio. This song is such an anthem.
This is the coolest new song! Too original to ignore.
Is "Tuesday" by Drake.
I've never heard Tuesday by Drake, but if it's worse than that "back seat of your rover" song I'll print out this entire...wait...didn't this happen already?
Saw this song yesterday on Much Music while half watching TV, bought it on iTunes within a few hours.
Queen of majesty and mystery
Best thing in music is to have an inimitable singing voice.
This song is a little gem.
I believe it is their best.
pretty heavy-handed product placement paid for by the mealworm industry
Fed Put this comment deserves more likes than it has.
Best comment on the page.
Jesus just enjoy the song and clip. Enough with the bitchin'
@@n.h.9477 Talk about being devoid of a sense of humor.
Down with the mealworm industry. ALERTA!
so much 80's vibe in this.
independent music made this like this for a ling time and better.
Heavenly melodies. Thank you.
I was today years old when I realized that the harp introduction is excerpted from "Deep Thought," also from Future Politics ^_^;; Grateful to have discovered Austra's relatable, exquisite oeuvre in the last few weeks and hoping to see the band live one day when concerts can happen again
her voice is so stunning, i can't get enough of it.
I cried and shidded and puked for days after I first heard this song in 2016! It's been on my hard rotation ever since.
Canada used to produce so many amazing artists/songs back in the 80's and 90's but as soon as 2000 hit, it all went downhill. This is the first Canadian artist I've found inspiring in a couple decades.
(and for anybody who mentions Justin Bieber or Drake, you prove my point even more.)
Same here. Toronto in the early 80s was fucking magic
You might like Sally Dige, another awesome Canadian artist!
@@dienowplzkthx Wow, yeah, just found her. I like the first couple songs I've heard of hers for sure.
song on repeat everyday!!!
Good to hear melodic electro-pop in 2016.
I live in a city full of people I don't know
People riding highways from their workplace to their home
I raise my hand, I see they are different than us
But I only wanna hold your hand, my whole damn life.
[Chorus]
I can picture a place, where everybody feels it too
It might be fiction but I'm seeing ahead
There's nothing I wouldn't do
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Cut me a slice of the apple that I grow
My work is valid, I can't prove it but I know
A woman screams, she's looking for meaning behind
A man who'll make her cry, her whole damn life
[Chorus]
I can picture a place, where everybody feels it too
It might be fiction but I'm seeing ahead
There's nothing I wouldn't do
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Utopia (5x)
[Outro]
Like a hunter with teeth
There's nothing I wouldn't do
I'm running through a fountain of dirt
There's nothing I wouldn't do
There's nothing I wouldn't do
too good
"Like a hunter with teeth?"
Thank you.
Already one of my 2017 favorites.
Just came back from your gig in London tonight! You guys were absolutely incredible!
Le retour du grand pouvoir de Katie & co, équilibre parfait retrouvé. Amour
Comfortingly depressing
is "Tuesday" by drake.
I've never heard Tuesday by Drake, but if it's worse than that "back seat of your rover" song I'll print out this entire comment section on 8.5 X 11 in. glossy paper and eat it.
Darren Mullen like eutanasia
You'll own nothing, and you'll be happy.
One of the most impressive electro pop song of the last decade.
Uno de mis deseos para 2023, ya lo tengo, cómo el de varios años atrás es que Austra venga a México 🙏❤️
"I can picture a place where everybody feels it too
It might be fiction but I see it ahead"
that stings
Depression. She was talking about depression. She saw it coming years ahead. This is why we have such great art now. Depression will create the final generation. 😬
Incredible Track! Getting goosebumps everytime when I listen to this!
If you don't love this song you're doing it wrong
Exactly.
such a beautiful song, voice, sound and girl!
This will be perfect to listen to, while driving down deserted streets in the middle of the night
or long road trips in mountain valleys. Echoy songs always work well for that.
great song, musical maturity is heard
Eu amo demais essa banda. Eu não quero pensar na possibilidade de morrer e jamais ir à um show deles.
Chills. It feels like forever since Olympia, and now all those feelings come rushing back~
I heard this in the radio going back to home from my workplace and fell in love. What a song!!
When Austra said 'I live in a city full of people I don't know' and 'People riding highways from workplace to the home' It might be fiction(utopia) but I see it ahead / There’s nothing I wouldn’t do’ she literally laid down basis for the communist manifesto- What a Queen!
Gives me goosebumps. Heavenly.
I love you Katie!!! I can't wait to get the album
Love it! Great production...Katie I love your voice!
I love this Black Mirror episode
Well I need this now! January is too far away!! 😱😍
omg, so good. cant wait for future politics! aww
I must be psychic. Was just thinking about this band and thought I'd check to see if there was a new song.
I do not know why we have not met before, but WOW ! Thanks for this wonderful post... what a talent
Katie's done something with her face (that's not criticism, btw., she looks superlovely). And this is a magnificent song.
She has just lost weight :)
Losing weight has a side effect of "face gains" where generally people look more attractive after significant weight loss.
OK, you're both right! :)
Katie has always been the queen of attractiveness!
Ahmagad I am seriously so happy to see them back ^^ I'm loving this already, can't wait for the full album *breathing intensifies* Thank you guys for making such amazing music!
so many times when walking the streets of my city I look around and I feel that way too...
This is soothing.
Austra is definitly a very interesting band. Hope see you in France.
This is something so amazing. Words don't work.
Super nagranie... Mogę tego słuchać przez cały dzień...
I love her voice..
Love This Song! Amo essa música!! J'aime c musique!!
I can't stop listening this song...
Peculiar song, with some very dark, vindictive subject matter. I'm surprised that there seem to be no comments getting into the meaning of this song.
I've listened to this every day for the past two weeks. Love!
Your BEST song and video!
I just love this song and video
I absolutely love this song
This Song Just Takes Me To That Place You Know ❤️❤️❤️❤️
PRAGUE PRAGUE PRAGUE, LOVE
Doufám, že Austra přijede na Colours konečně!
Kéž by!
To by šlo
Brno )
Please, also include Bucharest on your European Tour list!
Pure beauty!
I am so relieved by 'Utopia'. The magic that made Feel It Break so special is back. I was concerned after Olympia was a bit, meh... But this new offering is what I love about Austra. Catchy, yet melancholy with beautiful vocals and a wonderful analog feel. I'm very excited about the new album. Austra are back on the top of my radar.
Okay, hear me out. I think she is saying that we will inevitably create the fictional worlds such as 1984 or Farenheight 451 by engaging in what corporations want; consumer control. Alexa is a stepping stone to everyone having big brother installed in their home without even knowing it. We are already seeing instances of unauthorized monitoring by companies. The woman in red is the representation of her growing fears brought to life. Great song :)
The only intellectual comment on this video lol. Couldnt agree more my man. Although i felt like the red dress represented nature, an escape from dystopian reality if you will. More people need to be aware of globalism
The red represents life, in it's primitive form, it represents blood, passion, desire which is contrasted to achromatic colours of her apartment and her controlled life. The caterpillars represent life trying to escape from such ''human'' conditions. To silence her desires from true colours of life, she eats the caterpillar.
crackedLCDsalvage
Basically what I said but with more detail lol
the devil's in the detail
I'm just relaxed that was good
i love this song ❤❤❤❤
Love
Autra
Fucking love this song so much
Haunting, bright and crawling. 'Utopia' is a tongue-in-cheek criticism of personified perfection sprinkled with isolated bliss... I hope...
I love the song. The video though makes me feel uneasy. It is like one of these sci-fi movies where everything looks immaculate but you feel there is something wrong with it.
No words to express How much I Love this song and How unique it is 😍❤
I wish I could eat worms and absorb capitalism as gracefully as Austra
*globalism
Best voice,perfekt beat.
the lyrics are so good! the whole idea behind Future Politics is well worth reading about.
You are a very gifted musician. Keep giving us refreshing tracks like these. Best,
Love the music, love Katie. Well done Austra!
Amazon Echo sounds like Yolandi 4real tho. Never rollback your current firmware. Big Love, Austra
OMG!! they are back... What I have been missing?!!!
Amazing voice like an angel. Great melody.
i love this. thank you vice news for sharing! so awesome!
Love Austra. I just found her music out. No big deal (I mean, no other than going through life without listening to her awesome tracks the last 6 years,,, smh) I can feel her vibes and find her ad hoc Lorde's, Halsey's and Tove Lo's Witch House. She's a good one!
try Boy Harsher, u might like, it's darker but female lead, beautiful lyrics too
oh oh pain always pain... pain, pain breaks the rythm, breaks the rythm, breaks the rythm ♫ love them!@@ronrendon
🖤 this. This is the Austra I know and love. Whatever they were thinking when they made Olympia I hope never happens again. I thought they sold out for a second
Perfection, so addictive. A true Masterpiece. Thank You.
This music sounds like the type of music that my parents used to listen back in the days... I say this in a good way 😛😜
Love it!
She was in Mexico for a while....between the 2nd and 3rd albums....where she heard and really liked the electro cumbia scene
Did you ever wonder what sunshine might sound like? a warm breeze ? or the sound of a Star in the nights sky? Not anymore
I am certain that I love this band.
Yaaay. Can't wait for More!!
