Portland's subtly-named Starfucker have signed with Polyvinyl and are scheduled to hit the road next month with Austin-based band The Octopus Project. The band will also release an alternate single version of their track "Julius" b/w the B-side "Helium Muffin." The 7" is out October 12th and the first 500 will be limited edition blue vinyl. It will be out digitally on September 14th. Right now though, you can check out "Julius" below.
MP3: Starfucker - "Julius"
Here's one blissed-out synth pop jam. It's a lush array of synthesizers, held up by active drums. The vocals are washed out in reverb, dragging you deeper and deeper into the song. The synths dance and hook you, so just make sure you don't lose yourself in the mix. It's like swimming underwater and staring up at the surface to see the sunlight shining, dancing and bouncing through the water.
