I knew very little about Oregon’s STRFKR when I walked into their show at First Avenue last fall only to experience one of the most entertaining concerts I attended in 2016. That show had everything: Dancers, Astronauts, Dan Cortez, and Joshua Hodges in a dress. STRFKR is returning to the Twin Cities to perform at the Fine Line on 6/26. A few tickets are still available HERE
“Being No One, Going Nowhere”. The title of STRFKR’s fourth album may seem bleak at first. But hold it in your head a minute, feel its weight, and you may recognize the phrase for what it is: a goal. In the era of the personal brand — amid the FOMO Age — it’s increasingly hard to shed a stifling sense of self, or to just be in the moment that you’re in. Well, consider this an invitation to get blissfully insignificant. That’s what STRFKR founder Joshua Hodges aimed to do when he exiled himself to the desert to create this record, but he returned with his most significant work yet: a set of darkly glistening dance songs rife with sticky beats, earworming hooks, philosophical heft, and bittersweet beauty.
