“[Future Politics is] as catchy as it is affecting, driven by Stelmanis’ crystalline vocals and intricate synth work.” - NYLON
“It’s music to be escaped into, whether on dance floors or alone somewhere…” - Pitchfork
“...a bracing, coolly tuneful vision of tomorrow that refuses to submit to inertia. In an era when simply resisting dystopia can seem idealistic, Future Politics dares to hope big.” - NPR Music

Singer Katie Stelmanis on “Change The Paradigm”:
“I wish Change the Paradigm had made it onto the record because it directly embodies what I wanted to express on Future Politics - that the most powerful tool we possess for creating a better world is our own imagination.
Future Politics was written in a much different climate than what we have today. It's been difficult to stay positive, but for me the possibility of what lies ahead is not only a weapon of potential, but a source of comfort and faith. We have to believe in the future and our own power to invent it now more than ever!”
To wrap up the year, Austra are playing one final show in their hometown Toronto at the Velvet Underground this Thursday, December 14. Tickets are on sale and available for purchase here.
