Starfucker 'self-titled' album

Starfucker is a name that is not so much a rejection of the seriousness in the music industry, but a commitment to the playful spirit of their music; an understanding between three multi-instrumentalists in a ethereal galaxy of drums, drum machines, keyboards, guitars, turntablism, and a live performance powerful enough to transcend the guilt of actually having fun at a live show.

After seeing Starfucker perform, Dylan Magierek of Badman Recording Co. was blown away. "Seeing them play for that first time was one of those very rare occasions when I immediately felt I had to work with these guys.

Their sound is absolutely infectious and they have all the elements I look for in a great band." Josh and Dylan went to work at Type Foundry in Portland, Oregon to layer in some extras to Josh's home recordings, rounding out the album into a cohesive package of electro indie pop with a light hip-hop after-taste. It's like playing an 8-bit video game where your primary objective is to overcome heartbreak and an obsession with death, your only weapon a love laser mounted on a space bike that zaps out bright red blips and neon bleeps. This may be the music Josh was playing for his imaginary audience of aliens when he was a kid. It's poppy, it's catchy, and it's palatable, and that's a good thing.

press quotes
"If I was a betting man, I'd bet Starfucker will be the breakout Portland band of 2008. The kids love Josh Hodges' low-fi dance-pop steez, and they show up in droves whether he plays house parties or clubs." - Willamette Week

“Starfucker's forthcoming self-titled album is a fine piece of fractured, homemade pop, with handclaps, bleary synths, drum machines, clunky acoustic guitars, and honeyed lo-fi harmonies.” – Pitchforkmedia.com
