Austra returns with new single 'Risk It'

Having remained largely silent for the last three years, Austra has now returned to deliver a brand new single.

The new track 'Risk It' is her first since the 2017 album 'Future Politics', was produced alongside Rodaidh McDonald and Joseph Shabason, and comes accompanied by a stunning new video from Jasmin Mozzafari.

Speaking about the new visuals, Mozzafari said, “I wanted to construct a narrative piece that takes place over the course of one night, focusing on a protagonist caught at the inevitable crossroads that exist when love falls apart. Ultimately, I saw "Risk It" as a song about the fear of being vulnerable. At the beginning, the protagonist tries to do anything to evade this feeling; by the end, they are forced to face it."
