“Without birth and death, and without the perpetual transmutation of all the forms of life, the world would be static, rhythm-less, undancing, mummified.” -Alan Watts

STRFKR’s compositions and otherworldly performances thrive on Watt’s perpetual motion concepts. It’s a philosophy frontman Joshua Hodges has consistently embraced since they featured sampled recordings of Watts on their debut album, Starfucker.

Now in their 17th year together, the band’s latest release, Parallel Realms, offers a clear manifestation of this philosophy, featuring familiar melodies, existential songwriting, and five fresh, palette-cleansing interludes.

STRFKR has never shied away from creating cohesive albums, retentive to their personal beliefs and musical intuitions. Considering the diversity of sound paired with the interludes on this album, Parallel Realms is arguably STRFKR’s most STRFKR album to date.

Ahead of their April 11th performance at Emo’s, STFKR came into KUTX Studio 1A. Read more at https://kutx.org/sessions-interviews/...
