Austra – “Bittersweet” & “Chains And Anchors”

Last year, Austra unveiled her compelling fifth album Chin Up Buttercup. We were especially fans of the brash lead single "Math Equation." Now, the Canadian artist is back with "Bittersweet" and "Chains And Anchors.""'Bittersweet' was one of my favorites from the Buttercup era but didn't quite fit on the LP," Katie Stelmanis explains. "I'm glad it's having its moment now. And 'Chains And Anchors' is a track I wrote with Sean Nicholas Savage, a crooner pop songwriting master (in addition to 'Look Me In The Eye' from the LP), with a totally reimagined weirdo production from my collaborator Kieran Adams."Earlier this year, Austra released a short film called Chin Up Buttercup: The Movie and announced Canadian tour dates.
