Miracle Mile is the most varied Starfucker joint to date. It’s also one of the prettiest party records you’ll hear this year.
As electronica goes, Miracle Mile's best efforts sway toward the dance-floor happy end of the spectrum. Funky, pulsating bass riffs and dizzying leads designed to keep you dancing to the small hours are what this band does best.
Considering this is their third album, you’d think they would have found their sound by now. Of course, maybe they have; maybe it’s just not groundbreaking.

It all worked very well on Reptilian and it somehow all falls apart here. The creative atmosphere STRFKR previously brought is seemingly lost. They becomes devoid of personality blending together every trendy Indie Pop/Electropop/Indietronica sound from the late 2000s into the early 2010s into a tasteless glob. They aren't showing us anything new with this album. Unoriginal ideas applied ... read more
