STRFKR to release new album, Miracle Mile, listen to first single “While I’m Alive” now

After 2011’s fairly okay (ed. note – what? it’s awesome) Reptilians, Portland outfit STRFKR are to make a return with their new album Miracle Mile. The album will be released by Polyvinyl on 19th February, on various formats, including, CD, 2xLP (limited edition red & green or cream vinyl), cassette (red tape), and digital formats.

The fifteen-track album (that’s the artwork above) apparently came about from “all-night lyric writing sessions, fleshing out song skeletons originally conceived during European soundchecks and long van rides, or completing half-finished ideas kicking around [band member Brian] Hodges’ brain and hard drive.”

Head over to Billboard to have a listen to to new track, “While I’m Alive” while below you’ll find the tracklisting and some newly announced tour dates.
