The band was originally called Starfucker, which they later modified to Pyramiddd (2010) due to concerns about the provocative name, then settled on STRFKR (the stylized abbreviated form). They have been associated with the contemporary American indie pop and electronic rock scenes. They are known for use of Alan Watts philosophical speech samples in their 2011 album Reptilians and subsequent material. They have continued releasing material across multiple decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSTRFKR's sound combines indie pop, electronic rock, indietronica, dance-rock, indie electronic, synth-pop, and alternative dance with Hodges's distinctive vocal delivery, atmospheric synthesizer-driven production approaches, use of Alan Watts philosophical speech samples, and lyrical content addressing relationships, mortality, and broader contemporary themes drawing on contemporary indie electronic traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarfucker (2008, Badman)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJupiter EP (2009, Badman)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReptilians (2011, Polyvinyl)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiracle Mile (2013, Polyvinyl)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeing No One, Going Nowhere (2016, Polyvinyl)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuture Past Life (2020, Polyvinyl)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParallel Realms (2022, Polyvinyl)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBadman Recording Co. and Polyvinyl Record Company pressings of the STRFKR catalog have been issued in color variant editions and limited deluxe pressings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere to start\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eListeners new to STRFKR typically start with Reptilians (2011) or Miracle Mile (2013). \u003cspan class=\"related-collections\"\u003eExplore more: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-vinyl-records\"\u003ePop\/Indie-Pop\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/electronic-vinyl-records\"\u003eElectronic\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"strfkr-starfuckers-vinyl-180g","title":"Starfuckers LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eSTRFKR's first self-titled LP-A whimsical, groovy, heartfelt journey.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Trax Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48540768305335,"sku":"210000048934","price":20.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5755\/4871\/files\/starfucker.jpg?v=1781154198"},{"product_id":"strfkr-future-past-life-yellow-vinyl","title":"Future Past Life LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eSouth African electronic bliss. 5\/7\/21\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Trax Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48540809429175,"sku":"210000049139","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5755\/4871\/files\/strfkr-future-past-life-lp.jpg?v=1781154340"},{"product_id":"strfkr-being-no-one-going-nowhere-pink-vinyl","title":"Being No One, Going Nowhere LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe album blends the band's signature exuberant, '80s-inspired synth-pop with deeper, introspective themes drawn from Eastern philosophy and existentialism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Trax Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48540824764599,"sku":"210000080813","price":27.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5755\/4871\/files\/3103876-3314658.jpg?v=1781154396"},{"product_id":"strfkr-reptilians-10-yr-anniv-purple-blue-eco-vinyl","title":"Reptilians 2LP","description":"\u003cp\u003ePurple \u0026amp; Blue Eco Mix Vinyl.
