Austra – “Change The Paradigm”

At the beginning of the year, Austra released their excellent new album Future Politics -- we named it Album Of The Week when it came out -- and today the Katie Stelmanis-fronted band has shared a leftover track from the album called "Change The Paradigm." It's a throbbing, dystopian-sounding song about rewriting narratives. Here's what Stelmanis had to say about it in a statement:

I wish Change the Paradigm had made it onto the record because it directly embodies what I wanted to express on Future Politics - that the most powerful tool we possess for creating a better world is our own imagination.

Future Politics was written in a much different climate than what we have today. It's been difficult to stay positive, but for me the possibility of what lies ahead is not only a weapon of potential, but a source of comfort and faith. We have to believe in the future and our own power to invent it now more than ever!

Listen to it below.
