Austra - Lose It Took a pit stop over at Stereogum. Found this: Austra is the Toronto trio of vocalist/pianist/etc Katie Stelmanis (ex-Galaxy), drummer Maya Postepski (ex-Galaxy, currently TRUST), and bassist Dorian Wolf (ex-Spiral Beach), but the bulk of the band’s promo photos feature the singer by her lonesome. Even if Stelmanis wasn’t the primary songwriter, her [...]

MYTY KONKEROR - Cell Division Take this lightly if you wish: I was 13 years old in the mid-902s when At The Drive In splashed onto the scene where critics hailed them and touting that a change in music was coming and they were it. Little did we know that Relationship of Command, the ATDI [...]
