Austra : CHIN UP BUTTERCUP

I’m so chaotic in love’, sings Katie Austra Stelmanis on ‘Amnesia’, the cinematic opening track of `CHIN UP BUTTERCUP’, the fifth album by her alter ego and longtime pop project, Austra. Stelmanis and co-producer Kieran Adams shared a mutual love of pop divas, Eurodance and hard-to-find techno and Madonna’s 1998 album `Ray of Light’, produced by William Orbit, was a key influence in the later stages of album making: ‘`Ray of Light’ was produced almost entirely on a Juno-106 and a Korg MS-20, which we’d been using, so the reference point was aligned’, says Stelmanis.
