Thought I would share this track I did with the talented Caitlyn Hessell from a few years back. It’s an electronic fused pop track with a deep punchy bassline and elecrtrobox drums.

Austra – Beat and the Pulse
Electronic pop goodness from Austra. Rather dark and tribal percussion accented with ominous vocals from Katie Stelmanis.
Bio:
Austra are an electronic band from Toronto, ON, Canada comprising Katie Stelmanis (principal songwriter), Maya Postepski, and Dorian Wolf. They débuted with the single “The Beat And The Pulse” (November 2010, One Big Silence), and their latest release is the remix album “Sparkle” (July 2011, Domino) .
Their debut album, “Feel It Break” (May 2011, Domino), came after a long sequence of bands for Stelmanis, representing a near ten year musical progression performing as an artist, then fleshed-out by a full band. More settled and dominant than ever, the band’s sound represents Stelmanis’ influences tightened into a shiny metal ball — pianos give way to keyboards as songs build and pull, their urgent, dark melodies arpeggiating through multiple synthesizers, wrapping themselves around Stelmanis’ voice.
AWOLNATION – Sail
AWOLNATION is a Los Angeles based band fronted by Aaron Bruno, formerly of Under the Influence of Giants, Hometown Hero and Insurgence. Like the pulling of heart strings, the pizzacato strings mixed with Aaron’s vocal tug and pull at your emotions.
