Harold Bloom would love Starfucker, whose gamut-running anxious influences turn their eponymous debut into a game of indie-electronic homage spotting. Oh look, the rare Fujiya Broken Social Deacon Collective Least Likely in Helsinki! Add one supremely unmarketable band name, and you've got a dose of surprisingly enjoyable fluff.
These darlings of the Portland indie music scene have stepped up the dance beats and honed their production. Jupiter makes its mark with a combination of up-beat pop and a generous spreading of darker electronic beats (not to mention an adorable cover of “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.”)
