Canadian synth artist Austra is back with a new release titled ‘Siren Song.’
The singer-songwriter’s forthcoming album ‘Chin Up Buttercup’ will be available on November 14th, and she has announced a series of tour dates in 2026, which includes a stop in the UK at London’s Village Underground on March 23rd.
Extracted from the upcoming album, ‘Siren Song’ blends the ambiance of the X-Files with a hint of Madonna’s trance-inspired track ‘Ray Of Light’—and a touch of ABBA for good measure.
Developed in partnership with Montreal club creator Patrick Holland, ‘Siren Song’ expresses a compelling desire for connection.
This elevated and vibrant electronic pop track features club elements interwoven through a vivid melodic perspective. Austra remarks...
‘Siren Song’ exists at the crossroads of ABBA, Ray of Light, The X-Files, and Greek mythology. ABBA influenced the initial songwriting with Patrick. The Siren emerged during my improvisation on the demo recordings, and I soon recognized that Orpheus would be our shared adversary.
Having just binge-watched The X-Files, I found significant inspiration in Mulder’s frantic quest for his sister. Ray of Light came into play as my co-producer Kieran Adams and I were shaping the sonic landscape that would serve as the backdrop for our Siren to lament her lover's loss to Orpheus and his troublesome Lyre.
