Starfucker, now Portland's legendary city darlings, can bob their mop-tops and froth their weezer falsettos into howling wolves by way of a boys choir. Having set the stage, Starfucker throws themes together like the Capulets and Montagues, desire and defeat all intermingled like it ain't no thing. In trying to make sense of the way they sound I hear power to the people, seized by people ready to wield it...puzzle solving perfect.
The words German Love spark sparks. The "German" part is famously literal, wracked by philosophical passions but incapable of expressing them casually. The "Love" part is the most open, earnest, vulnerable craze we feel. Starfucker sings "I will give it to you / give it to you / give it to you" like hungry robots, as though repeating the desire will fulfill it.
Here's five sun drenched sound bytes for the best time of year.
