Starfucker 'Starfucker'

GuessWhat!? Their fetish for colored scotch tape & dressing up in lolita style drag has nothing to do with their music, except for the flamboyance factor that is definitely there.

You might heard of this trio of softies in past couple months when blogs circulated their song German Love because it was kinda nice and some people compared them to The Teenagers because it seemed to be the easiest way to express their fondness of the Starfucker, who celebrates nostalgic positive Lo-Fi Keyboard Pop like a bunch of hooligans in a free candy store; its all an experience to extract spontaneous memories and emotions from our teenage archives without eliminating the serotonin from the brain.

Melodic pretty much sums the aura radiating around this record. For a band that didn't get it's fair share of blog love, this album speaks loudly and demands its rights to be noticed.

I really had no idea of what to expect when I prepared myself for a listening session, maybe a bit forcing myself to do so since German Love (the track that been circulating the blogs) is not something to go crazy for, but let me tell you… this one here has the same surprise factor Hot Chip's Made In The dark had – It screams goodness from the first 10 seconds and it keeps going on throughout the album, no skipping needed!

To give you an idea of what you're likely to hear:
Thick layers of smooth bass, crunchy food crave inducing drum machine beats, star guitars (lagging & cosmic), tamed dance beats, Van She's vocal charm, homage to un-so-innocuous teenagism, textbook indie guitars, harmonious singing, playground clapping circle synchronizations, tambourines, synth, keys & different crispy sound making household objects!

If AIR were to become an indie band then Starfucker could somehow be what they will sound like, there are many Surfing On a Rocket like moments here with semi-breathy soft vocals & polyphonic tones playing in the background!

It is basically a compilation of drowsy music for the numb dancefloors.

Ps. This is more of a pre-review scrap note than an actual review, but it does the trick.
