[Watch] Austra - "Spellwork" (Official Video)

Toronto-based electro-goth band Austra have released the visuals for their song "Spellwork," and, unsurprisingly, the video is dark and disturbing. If you've ever been afraid of the woods, a word of warning, this video won't help you quell your fears. With dark steeds, menacing witches, and death, the video makes for a the perfect accompaniment to a gloomy evening.

[Watch] Austra's Unplugged Paper Bag Session

As part of the Paper Bag Sessions series of videos, Austra's leading lady Katie Stelmanis takes the ethereal electro pop sound that the band is known for and applies it to an acoustic performance. Through the sole use of a grand piano, Stelmanis recreates the beauty of "Lose It" and "The Choke," two highlights from Austra's debut album Feel It Break.

You can watch both acoustic performances of "Lose It" and "The Choke" after the jump. Thanks to Stereogum for the heads up.
