Austra, the pop project of Canadian vocalist and composer Katie Stelmanis, will release her fifth album Chin Up Buttercup on November 14 via Domino, and now she shares her majestic new single ‘Siren Song.’

Co-written with Montreal songwriter, musician and DJ Patrick Holland, ‘Siren Song’ is a dreamy trance-like plea for connection. “‘Siren Song’ exists somewhere at the intersection of ABBA, Ray of Light, The X-Files and Greek mythology,” says Stelmanis. “ABBA inspired the early songwriting with Patrick. The Siren introduced herself to me while I was improvising the demo recordings and I quickly realized that Orpheus would be our common nemesis. Following a recent X-Files binge, I was heavily inspired by Mulder’s desperate search for his sister. Ray of Light came in at the end as my co-producer Kieran Adams and I were establishing the sonic realm which would become the backdrop for our Siren to lament the loss of her lover to Orpheus and his pesky Lyre.”
