,: Being in a toxic relationship can sometimes feel like being lost :,
: in a maze. Every attempt to turn a corner lands you back where :
:' you started. Today, Austra (aka Katie Austra Stelmanis) ':
,: announces her fourth album, HiRUDiN. Set for release on May 1, :,
: via Pink Fizz, HiRUDiN is both a bold acknowledgement of such :
:' patterns of behaviour and a testament to the power of breaking ':
,: them. :,
: :
:' Katie Austra Stelmanis has been better known by her middle name ':
,: for three albums, ten years, and countless tours. She wrote, :,
: produced, and performed all her own records, occasionally :
:' sharing the spotlight with a band to tour live. From the ':
,: outside, things were going really well for a while: she built a :,
: devoted fan base and sold out shows all around the world. :
:' However, on the inside, Stelmanis was beginning to feel ':
,: stagnant and uninspired. ôI was losing faith in my own ideas,ö :,
: she explains. Without realising it, sheÆd got caught up in a :
:' toxic relationship that was tearing her apart. ':
,: :,
: It wasnÆt until Stelmanis was ready to face her insecurities :
:' that she was able to see a way forward: ôMy creative and ':
,: personal relationships were heavily intertwined, and I knew the :,
: only answer was to part ways with all of the people and comforts :
:' that IÆd known for the better part of a decade and start ':
,: again.ö Alongside making changes in her personal life, HiRUDiN :,
: saw Austra taking an entirely different, free-spirited approach :
:' to making a record. Seeking out all new collaborators, she ':
,: booked three days of sessions in Toronto with improv musicians :,
: sheÆd never met before. They included two thirds of contemporary :
:' classical improv group c_RL, the cellist and kamanche duo ':
,: Kamancello, kulintang ensemble Pantayo, and a childrenÆs choir. :,
: :
:' Accumulating a vast and vibrant mass of source material, Austra ':
,: then holed up in a studio in the Spanish countryside and took a :,
: collage approach to sampling, arranging, writing and producing :
:' to reveal the songs that would form the album. ôI found myself ':
,: really enjoying the role of producer for this record,ö she says, :,
: ôdirecting and arranging a very disparate array of parts and :
:' people and feeling strong in my own conviction for what I ':
,: wanted it to sound like.ö HiRUDiN additionally saw her work :,
: alongside co-producers for the first time, Rodaidh McDonald and :
:' Joseph Shabason, and she brought in David Wrench and Heba Kadry ':
,: to mix and master the record respectively. ôIt was incredibly :,
: liberating and a huge learning process to work with so many :
:' different people,ö she says. ôI felt completely revitalized.ö ':
