 “I’m so chaotic in love,” sings Katie Austra Stelmanis on ‘Amnesia’, the cinematic opening track of ‘CHIN UP BUTTERCUP’, the fifth album by her alter ego and longtime pop project, Austra.
 Stelmanis and co-producer Kieran Adams shared a mutual love of pop divas, Eurodance and hard-to-find techno and Madonna’s 1998 album ‘Ray of Light’, produced by William Orbit, was a key influence in the later stages of album making: “‘Ray of Light’ was produced almost entirely on a Juno-106 and a Korg MS-20, which we’d been using, so the reference point was aligned,” says Stelmanis.
 The album sounds like a mix of hypnotic dancefloor anthems and elegant melodies to
soothe your broken heart.
 LP available to independent retailers on Orange coloured vinyl.
