After a monstrous year that included placing second for the 2011 Polaris Music Poll (behind only Arcade Fire) and a stop at Fun Fun Fun Fest, Toronto-based Austra have just released the video for “Spellwork,” one of the more upbeat cuts from their debut LP Feel It Break. Their set at FFF Fest was nothing short of impressive as vocalist Katie Stelmanis gave a stellar performance that had the entire crowd at the Blue stage entranced. Though it was late day and there were no light shows or other effects to mask the rest of the band, they still possessed a mysterious quality about themselves, one that seems to have been appropriately captured in their video for “Spellwork.” Showcasing some sort of bizarre ritual taking place deep in the forest director Yelena Yemchuk captures Austra in an environment that is as elusive as the song would suggest, watch the clip below.
