[News] Austra Announces Remix Album Physical Release Date, Fall Tour Dates
A few weeks ago, Canadian electronic outfit Austra digitally released Sparkles, an album consisting of remixes from their debut album Feel It Break. While it is currently available digitally, there has been no word of when it would be released on CD and vinyl, and now we know, as the band has announced that Sparkles will be released physically on August 23rd via Domino.
