"Portland’s Starfucker (STRFKR) have announced an extensive US tour in support of their forthcoming album Reptilians, the band’s sophomore album, & their first with Polyvinyl. The 4-piece will kick things off in San Francisco the day their album is released, hit SXSW along the way, & end with a bang, performing three release shows in their hometown of Portland. They’ll be touring with label mates Casiokids, as well as Unknown Mortal, Brahms & We All Have Hooks For Hands, among others.
Reptilians focuses primarily on the epic subjects of death & the end of the world, 2 intertwined subjects at the forefront of songwriter Josh Hodges’ mind following the passing of his grandmother. However, the tone of the record stays out of the doldrums, taking a page from British philosopher Alan Watts (whose lectures are excerpted at various intervals), who proposed death is essential as it lends meaning to life."
