Starfucker releases Jupiter
Starfucker ended 2008 with a bang! Their debut album had been featured on iTunes Indie Spotlight and MySpace; their video premiered on Pitchfork, and they had one of the all-time most dowloaded songs (“German Love”) on eMusic’s Daily Download. On Valentine’s Day they played to their largest sold-out (900 folks) crowd in their hometown of Portland, Oregon. And less than nine months after delivering their debut, the quarted is back with an eight infectious songs- pasted side by side to deliver a non-stop indie house party.
Jupiter gives listeners a chance to hear tracks previously dedicated solely to the live show; complete with the planet explorative patter well known on the last record, while reigning in their synth-heavy beat machine dialect for a fresh outlook on what dance music sounds like in their part of the universe. 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.
