Austra – “Bittersweet” & “Chains And Anchors”
Canadian artist Austra has released two songs, “Bittersweet” and “Chains And Anchors”, following last year’s album *Chin Up Buttercup*. The tracks give listeners a further glimpse of the album’s creative period and collaborations.
Katie Stelmanis says “Bittersweet” was a favourite that did not make the album, while “Chains And Anchors” was written with Sean Nicholas Savage and given a reworked production by collaborator Kieran Adams. Austra also released a short film about the album earlier this year and announced Canadian tour dates running from November 2026 to March 2027.
In short
- Austra has released two new songs.
- “Bittersweet” was left off *Chin Up Buttercup*.
- Canadian tour dates run through March 2027.
