Domino

Formed in Toronto, Canada, Austra has evolved from more straightforward pop beginnings into a project that is well regarded for blending avant garde production techniques with techno and darkwave influences and strongly queer and feminist themes. Founded by composer, singer-songwriter, and producer Katie Stelmanis in 2009, she is the only permanent member of the project, with a rotating live band that has included Maya Postepski on drums, Dorian Wolf on bass and Moog, and Ryan Wonsiak on keyboards.

Austra's music explores unique sonic landscapes while addressing important social issues. With a distinctive sound that combines elements of pop, techno, and darkwave genres,Austra creates an immersive experience for listeners. Their thought-provoking lyrics delve into queer and feminist themes, giving voice to marginalized communities.

Their live performances are known for their energy and passion as they bring their innovative sound to audiences around the world. As an artist who pushes boundaries both musically and socially,Austra continues to captivate fans with their powerful performances.

Domino is an independent label founded in Putney, South West London by *a694357* and his partner Jacqui Rice in 1993. The label initially focused on American acts such as *Sebadoh*, *Pavement* or *Royal Trux* before signing British acts in the late '90s.

The label operates a US division, located in Brooklyn, which output was initially identified by its own catalogue number schemes, DOMUS then DNO (used until 2013), when the releases handled by the UK headquarters are identified by WIG (albums) and RUG (singles and EPs) catalogue numbers.

The company operating the label, *Warp Records*, diversified, establishing a publishing arm and a series of labels (*Double Six Recordings*, *Weird World Record Co.*, *Rephlex*, ...).

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. Lead by Katie Stelmanis with the support of Maya Postepski, Dorian Wolf and Ryan Wonsiak, this album is a collection of urgent, disciplined anthems for dancefloors and headphones alike, that asks each of us to remember that the apocalypse is not an inevitability, but the product of human decision-making.
