Strfkr

STRFKR from Portland, Oregon is an indie electronic band known for their melodies and mysterious stage presence. Led by Josh Hodges, the band combines elements of indie pop, electronica and psychedelia. The band's intriguing name, often stylized as “Starfucker”, initially attracted attention for its edgy nature, but it was their music that really captivated audiences. Their early releases, such as their 2008 self-titled debut album and 2011's Reptilians, earned them critical praise and a devoted fan base.

What sets STRFKR apart is their ability to create danceable songs that often hide introspective and thoughtful lyrics. Songs like Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second and Bury Us Alive demonstrate their talent for combining shimmering synthesizers, bass lines and Hodges' vocals into a sonic fusion. Over the years, STRFKR has continued to evolve their sound while staying true to their signature style. Albums such as Miracle Mile (2013) and "Being No One, Going Nowhere" (2016) demonstrated their willingness to experiment with different sonic textures and push the boundaries of their genre.
