Future Politics, Austra’s third, and most ambitious album to date, calls for radical hope: a commitment “to put together our collective visions and hopes and make a future we can stand behind,” says Katie Stelmanis. “Not just hope in the future, but the idea that everyone is required to help write it, and the boundaries of what it can look like are completely endless. It’s not about ‘being political,’ it’s about reaching beyond boundaries, in every single field.”
