Lose it

If you follow the adventures of Brendan Kergin and myself on Threat Shark, chances are you have heard me rave about Austra on the air, or you've read me raving about them in the summer edition of Threat Shark.

The moral of the story is...

Austra is amazing.


I was supposed to photograph an Austra show back in Kamloops earlier this year, but unfortunately their tour bus got stranded on the Coquihalla Highway while trying to make the climb from Vancouver to the interior. I didn't know much about the band at that point, but set out to discover them.

Needless to say, I'm glad I discovered them.

Tonight, I'm lucky enough to see them opening for M83 and Justice at Fort York here in Toronto. I'm pretty stoked.

Here is my favorite Austra track... enjoy!


Lose It by Austra
Don’t wanna lose you
Don’t wanna lose
Don’t wanna lose you
Don’t wanna lose 
I never knew you
I never knew
I never knew you
I never knew 
You body's harmful to every shape
The cracks are deeper on every plate 
Don’t wanna lose you
Don’t wanna lose
Don’t wanna lose you
Don’t wanna lose 
I get impatient with every word
The more you ask me, the more I've heard 
This is a thirst I have never had
I never bled for another man 
Don’t wanna lose you
Don’t wanna lose
Don’t wanna lose you
Don’t wanna lose 
My baby screamed
My face screamed without an emotion 
In the darkness comes another, another
Hold her by the thumb, the other, the other 
In the darkness comes another, another
Hold her by the thumb, the other, the other 
In the darkness comes another, another
Hold her by the thumb, the other, the other 
In the darkness comes another, another
Hold her by the thumb, the other, the other
