Bleep

Katie “Austra” Stelmanis made her fourth album HiRUDiN with a renewed sense of free-spirited wonder alongside a host of new collaborators and co-producers to refine her sound and personal lyricism into a solid gold alternative pop record. Almost a year after its release, HiRUDiN REMiXED showcases a further list of music onlookers transforming Austra’s raw materials into club-minded dancefloor fire. Case in point, this disc features some stellar input from India Jordan, Shura and Octo Octa, who each deliver fresh takes on Austra’s originals, finding the house rhythms and rave atmospherics.
