Austra

Robyn and Canadian group Austra both make pulsing electronic pop music. But Robyn’s songs almost always have a sense of joyous immediacy, even when they’re sad, whereas Austra’s tracks have a windswept gothic quality to them. So it’s pretty fascinating to hear what Austra do with Robyn’s banger “None Of Dem.” They covered it live-in-studio on a recent visit to the Australian radio network Triple J; watch it below.

Austra’s Feel It Break is out now on Domino.

  1. Nice cover. I can’t wait to hear some new material from Austra; “Feel It Break” was one of my favourite albums of 2011.

  2. Wow that was awesome. Robyn needs to reciprocate with a cover of Beat and the Pulse.

  4. Wow, her casual voice sounds like a real common girl; wasn’t expecting that.
