STRFKR, originally started as a solo project by Portland, Oregon's musician Joshua Hodges, blossomed into an indie-electro-pop band that balances the line between accessible dance rhythms and introspective lyricism. Formed in 2007, the band gained momentum with their self-titled debut album in 2008, featuring the infectious track "Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second" that garnered significant attention. As a band known for their energetic live shows and the use of cosmic and philosophical themes, STRFKR has kept their signature sound evolving through the years while maintaining their indie DIY roots.

Their discography, which includes several full-length albums, EPs, and singles, demonstrates a willingness to experiment within the synthetic textures of indie pop and electronica. Recent releases like "Future Past Life" showcase a band that continues to refine their sound, integrating dreamy, spacey vibes with catchy melodies. Other notable projects like "Ambient 1" prove their versatility, allowing listeners to indulge in more atmospheric and instrumental soundscapes. The band's live performances remain a central part of their identity, captured in releases such as "Live From Brooklyn Steel," demonstrating the palpable energy they bring to the stage—an energy that has endeared them to fans across the indie music spectrum.
