Description
Olympia is an album of transformation. Though it has only been two years since Austras 2010 debut Feel It Break, it presents a quantum evolution in the Toronto-based bands sound, structure and style. · After three years of non-stop international touring with the likes of The xx, Grimes and The Gossip, when it came time to record Olympia, Austra had evolved into a complex collaborative effort between its six members.
Although Olympia is filled with electronic and synthetic sounds that reference everything from Trax Records classic cuts to Yazoos Upstairs At Erics, its free of programming and loops. Everything was played live by the band in the studio and all of the percussion including a wild set up of marimbas and congas was performed by drummer Maya Postepski.
The album was produced by Austra with additional production by Mike Haliechuk, vocal production by Damian Taylor (Bjork, The Killers), engineered by Bill Skibbe and Leon Taheny and mixed by Tom Elmhirst (Adele, Erasure, Hot Chip).
Heavyweight double vinyl in gatefold sleeve.
