Austra mingles myth, mystery, and dancefloor with new single "Siren Song"

Canadian electronic auteur Austra, aka Katie Stelmanis, returns with the bewitching single "Siren Song," the second offering from her forthcoming record "Chin Up Buttercup", due November 14, 2025, on Domino Recording. That's a song that not only whispers, it calls to you, mingling pop brilliance with mythic emotion and cinematic atmosphere.

Written by Stelmanis, Kieran Adams, and Sean Patrick Holland, and co-produced by Austra and Adams, "Siren Song" is a heady blend of influences, melodic bliss, and the spiritual rave quality of a ray of light. It's a place where shimmering synths crash against black waters, and each beat sounds like both a warning and a lure.

"Siren Song" embodies the well-known Austra duality, with fragility wrapped in muscular, celestial sound. It's emotionally raw yet rhythmically liberating, drawing listeners into a trance that is as much steeped in heartbreak as in transcendence. The vocals glimmer wistfully, the synths pulse like waves lapping at the shore. "Siren Song" is beckoning us to venture in, even if we won't come out on our feet. This is electronic pop with a soul, the myth reimagined for the dancefloor, and Austra at her boldest yet.
