As 2011 draws to a close, I wanted to throw my own two cents in about what I considered the best albums of the year. 15. The Smile Sessions- The Beach Boys When Brian Wilson announced that The Smile Sessions would be released, I was ecstatic. I still don't own a box set to this day, but I've been [...]

Tweet vaso link It's hard to tell whether this was a really great year for music or if I was just paying attention more than last year. That sums up my feelings at the end of every year. I don't want to do too much of an introduction because I have quite a bit to say. I'm not putting these releases in any particular order, they are just my favorites. Some I listened to more than others, but putting them [...]

STRFKR's video for "Bury Us Alive". It's a bit strange, but the song is tight.
Phenomenal. It's got that element of adolescence to it with those video game blips, but worn down a bit with its slightly melancholic distorted lo-fi vocals. Very indie airy dreampop but maintains an edge that refuses to let you take it for granted. When I listen to this band, I want to go for a walk straight into the pouring rain and know that my heart will go any which way it wants to go. It's got that testament of optimism to it, the kind of brightness you catch accidentally as you breeze past your hanging mirror, trailing perfume and [...]
STRFKR lit up the El Rey in Los Angeles Thursday night before melting it at Outside Lands in San Francisco Saturday afternoon. Peep our pictures!
Fantastic record label Polyvinyl is putting together a compilation to help with ongoing efforts of the recovery of the Japanese from the awful Tsunami that hit earlier this year. Starfucker have donated an unreleased track to the album, and it's stupendous. Leaving off right where they left with releasing one of the best album of the year so far, Reptilians , the track could of easily been a standout on the album. The slow burner has the band's signature twisty turning synths that makes everything seem a bit brighter around us. You can purchase the single or [...]

Show them your support if you plan to attend by RSVP via the facebook event HERE [...]

"Las teorías de la conspiración nos dicen que los poderes que gobiernan al mundo tras bambalinas, son en realidad "Reptilians" con apariencia humana. Bush, Obama, la realeza inglesa y las familias más influyentes son seres de esa especie que se alimentan de nuestras emociones, de las guerras y del miedo" Pero conjeturas paranoicas aparte, "Reptilians" es también el titulo del nuevo disco de Starfucker (STRFKR) , quienes se presentarán este viernes 3 de junio dentro de la serie de eventos organizados por Noiselab en el Caradura Stage Bar (y [...]
Soms verwacht je op basis van alleen al een bandnaam gewoon een lekkere bak spierballenherrie. Als ik enigszins huiverig dit Reptilians van Starfucker opzet, blijk ik er helemaal naast te zitten. Het album opent met gezellige gitaarklanken over een snerpende...
I've been following Portland indie band Starfucker for a couple years now and are really into some of their newer material, especially this jam Julius from their most recent release, Reptilians . Starfucker- Julius Could not make a post about Starfucker without including my favorite track from them from 2008 self-titled release. Starfucker- Rawnald Gregory Erickson The Second Starfucker's album Reptilians is still streaming online, check it out in it's entirety here . Here is the recently [...]

When first hearing the name STRFKR you may laugh at what the name really stands for (it is pretty obvious after all). Based out of Portland STRFKR's mixture of synthesizers, spacey sounds and dance-pop beats are definitely welcome in an age where groups such as MGMT and Passion Pit are at the forefront of a similar sound. Having performed at this year's SXSW music festival and having additional tour dates until August, STRFKR has also made time to release their latest album, Reptilians . Reptilians begins with "Born," a combination of acoustic guitars, electronic drums, [...]
True to form, Starfucker's new album has more flash than fire. Since its inception in 2007, Portland, Oregon's Starfucker has been praised for its dance hooks and buoyant energy, perhaps exemplified by the band's irresistible 2009 cover of Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun". Reptilians is the most infectious thing that the band has done yet, but this album, like the group's self-titled debut, often opts for sensation where simplicity would do. The effect is ultimately one of redundancy. Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joshua Hodges...
Starfucker Reptillians Polyvinyl Records [2011] Fire Note Says : Starfucker mature on new long player Reptilians that represents their best to date! Album Review: First off, I am sure this Portland band never gets as much press as their music deserves because of their name. Starfucker is not really the band you can discuss around the dinner table but their synth-pop driven LP, Reptilians [...]
With their penchant for taking to the stage in women's clothes and reference to intergalactic intercourse in their name, Starfucker, may not be a band which would go down well with the censors, but their music is going down rather well with us. The band's liking for Electro-Pop and Dance could be deemed as Portland's version of early MGMT. But they've been around awhile now (under different guises non-the-less) and this is their second full-length album. They have also changed their name a number of times, from Pyramid to Pyramiddd (and although their name is now Starfucker they [...]
Pre-ordering: the moment when fandom and excitement take over frugality and rational lines of thought. Should I really be paying $20 for an album I've never actually heard? No one likes throwing away their weekend beer money on a nice single and an accompanying assortment of crap filler. I've made that mistake before, and perhaps that's why I'm so wholly enamored with Starfucker's Polyvinyl debut, Reptilians . Because the sexy tease of a shiny single, pretty artwork, and clear vinyl are surpassed by the album's tapestry of 11 interconnected songs: simultaneously life-affirming and existentially contemplative synth-pop that races forward [...]
