Parallel Realms - Violet & Cobalt Blue, Strfkr, LP

Violet & Cobalt Blue vinyl in a gatefold jacket w/ spot gloss and die-cut printed euro sleeves. Includes download code. . Prolific and constantly evolving, Portland, OR's STRFKR have continued to release music that consistently connects with music lovers all over the globe. The band started out in a time when a co-sign from blogs and music outlets of note were all but mandatory for new music to be heard and accepted. STRFKR bypassed the hype machine almost completely, focusing instead on making their shows more exciting and pushing their music to new places. Their work ethic both in the studio and on the road has kept them on a steady climb, consistently playing venues on the level of legendary rooms like Terminal 5, Stubb's, and the 9:30 Club while using any available downtime to work towards the next recording. On their latest full-length album, Parallel Realms, STRFKR embrace a more pop-forward approach as heard on their recent single "Running Around," while also hinting at experimentalism and the gentler textures on 2020's heralded, Future Past Life. Tracked by the band in their home studio in Portland, with additional engineering in Joshua Tree, CA, and mixed by Chris Coady (Beach House, The Drums), the new album feels exciting, cohesive, and familiar with immediate, yet diverse qualities that can only be found on STRFKR records. In addition to being streamed over 1B times around the world, STRFKR have performed at festivals including Coachella, Outside Lands, FYF Festival, Mad Decent Block Party, and others. The band has also toured consistently, playing to fans throughout North America, Europe, China, Japan, and other countries.
