Starfucker - Jupiter (2009)


Link

Just over eight months after the release of their well-received self-titled debut, electro-pop upstarts Starfucker are putting out another album to coincide with the onset of the universal summertime adrenaline rush. The record is entitled Jupiter and is considered by the group to be a sister LP to their debut, bringing to light a smattering of songs that have already gone into heavy rotation in Starfucker’s live performances. Jupiter is scheduled to be released on May 5 on Badman.

Judging from the opening track “Medicine,” which can now be streamed at the band’s MySpace page, the Portland-based quartet seem steadfast in continuing their allegiance to synth bliss and distorted hooks, which is a noble venture if there ever was one. Prior to the release of Jupiter, Starfucker will be playing a host of shows at SXSW this year, having made Prefix’s list of Artists to Watch at SXSW 2009, and will continue to tour the rest of North America through the beginning of May.
