Katie Stelmanis, aka Austra, has announced her first album since 2020’s HiRUDiN. It’s called Chin Up Buttercup, and it’s set to arrive on November 14 via Domino. Stelmanis co-produced the record with Kieran Adams, drawing inspiration from the Eurodance sound of Madonna’s Ray of Light, and you can hear that reverberating through the first single ‘Math Equation’. Check it out and find the album cover and tracklist below.
According to Stelmanis, Chin Up Buttercup is about “the alienating feeling of being heartbroken in a world that’s awkward and inconvenienced by your pain.” She explained, “I was completely blindsided … the person I loved woke up one day, told me she wasn’t happy, and I basically never saw her again.”
