Exploring new facets without losing emotional complexity.
Katie Stelmanisthe brilliant Toronto artist behind the project Australiareturns with his long-awaited new LP, Chin Up Buttercupthis Friday via Domino. The release follows their acclaimed 2020 album, HiRUDiN. The expectation for the new work has grown with the previous release of the singles “Math Equation” and the seductress “Siren Song”. Now, to add to the excitement, comes a new preview that presents a contrast to their usual sound.
Traditionally, the musical proposal of Australia has navigated darker waters, with an aesthetic that often leans towards the gothic and melancholic, while maintaining a dense and introspective atmosphere. However, with “Fallen Cloud”, Stelmanis takes a surprising turn: the piece transforms into an exuberant and infectious dance party. This track is an injection of pure optimism, overflowing with palpable joy and euphoria that evokes the intoxicating feeling of falling in love. It is an explosion of light and movement that feels totally liberating within his catalog.
