Usually, the dive on one or another good song on the radio, which is a good 80-remake or ideally even a further development of this sounds for today. Once I wanted to buy several songs the group as Austra mp3 I heard through the album and was very pleasantly surprised. The bell-like voice of the singer is combined with interesting synth sounds. Sometimes it goes towards EBM (Beat and Pulse), times as Kirlian Camera (spellwork). Other songs (Hate Crime) remind me a lot of melodic synthpop (Barbara Morgenstern, Invisible Limits). But this should be only a rough direction, Austra have to make something of their own potential. That may now sound a little corny, but it's true, if only because the voice of the singer is polarizing. Anyway, this CD has no real gap filler and it remains Austra hoped that a few more albums to come.
