VIDEO: Austra - Believe Me (Paper Bag Session)

I've posted the two previous Paper Bag Sessions that Austra has done ('Lose It' and 'The Choke'). Well now we have the third and final installment for their song 'Believe Me'. This song was originally a solo Katie Stelmanis song, but I guess now that it's being branded as an Austra song. Again, it just features Katie and a piano, and it's awesome of course. So just go ahead and watch it down below.



There was also another piece of exciting news to come out of the Austra camp recently. Their debut album Feel It Break, which was released earlier this year is getting the deluxe treatment. There will be two discs offered with the release. The first disc will be the original tracklisting from Feel it Break and the second disc will consist of some B-sides, early work and covers.

VIDEO: Austra - The Choke (Paper Bag Session)

A little while ago I posted the first installment of Austra's Paper Bag sessions for their song 'Lose It'. Well now we have the second installment for you, which features Austra's song 'The Choke'. The video again just features Katie Stelmanis and a piano. Like you'd probably expect, it's hauntingly beautiful.

VIDEO: Austra - Lose It (Paper Bag Session)

Recently Paper Bag records have done some pretty cool sessions with some of their bands including Cuff The Duke, Elliott BROOD, PS I Love You and The Rural Alberta Advantage. Well, now we have a new video from Austra for their song 'Lose It'. I really like this video, it's really bare bones when compared to the studio version of the song and it really shows off the pipes that Katie Stelmanis has. Austra's debut album Feel It Break was released earlier this year and it will be very high up on my list come the end of the year so if you dig this video then you should definitely check this band out.
