Austra – “American Science” (Duran Duran Cover)
The Duran Duran tribute compilation Making Patterns Rhyme comes out next week, and we’ve already posted a bunch of songs from it: Moby doing “Rio,” Warpaint doing “The Chauffeur,” Carina Round doing “Come Undone.” Now, Toronto synthpoppers Austra’s ghostly, miasmic take on “American Science,” from Duran Duran’s 1986 album Notorious, has randomly popped up on Spotify; thanks to reader Michael Tyler for tipping us off. If you’ve got Spotify, you can listen to it below.
Making Patterns Rhyme: A Tribute to Duran Duran is out 7/15 on Manimal Vinyl.
