Austra debuts new video

By Stewart Mason January 12, 2012

Toronto-based electronic trio Austra have premiered "Spellwork," the latest video from 2011's Feel It Break (Domino Records). The video was directed by fashion photographer Yelena Yemchuk, whose CV includes videos for Smashing Pumpkins and album photography for Rufus Wainwright. With their portentous woodland setting and unsettling sense of ritual, the visuals perfectly complement singer-songwriter Katie Stelmanis' chilly but beautiful musical sense.
