I'm a big fan of the growing electronic indie rock genre and bought this album based on that interest and the seemingly decent reviews I could find on it. This is my introduction to the band and I have to say that this album was the biggest surprise of the year for me. I absolutely love it; probably one of my top few favorites of 2011.The album keeps your interest with a variety of synths layered on electronic bass and pleasant guitar riffs changing throughout each track.

The lyrics point towards many philosophical ideas which seem harder and harder to come by in an era of realist intentions from songwriters, wanting to simply dabble in love and relationships for an album's length.

Better still, a STRFKR live show is unmatched in its energy and vibe. If you get a chance to see them, do not pass it up. |
