Best of 2011 #5: Austra - Feel it Break

Toronto's Austra made a heck of a splash this year. Propelled by the startlingly expressive and operating voice of Katie Stelmanis, Austra have the sheen of a classic 80s new wave act combined with the tautness of a modern indy rock band. Feel it Break seems a bit unfinished in places, but it is a shockingly powerful album. As a debut album, Feel is Break is strong, but I have a feeling that their next album will be the one that defines them and puts them on the international radar.
