Official video to “The Beat & The Pulse” by Austra. Directed by Claire Edmondson.
In this stylishly shot video which oozes with effortless, minimal cool, Austra find themselves surrounded by gyrating, scantily clad women who, without giving too much away, appear to be less (or maybe more?) than human. This is an edited version of the original video, but depending on how liberal your work environment is, this is probably still a NSFW. Just a heads up there.
AUSTRA is Katie Stelmanis, Maya Postepski, and Dorian Wolf. They formed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 2010. The debut of AUSTRA comes at the end of a long line for the band’s principal songwriter Katie Stelmanis. AUSTRA represents the musical progression of almost 10 years of performing as an artist, fleshed out by a full band. More settled and dominant than ever , the AUSTRA sound represents all of Katie’s influences tightened into a shiny metal ball - pianos give way to keyboards as songs build and pull, their urgent dark melodies arpeggiating and multiplying through an army of synthesizers, wrapping themselves around Katie’s astounding voice.
