In 2007, Josh Hodges (mastermind behind Starfucker), was asked by his friend to quit his job so he could record an album of cover songs. "It was actually my friend's idea," Hodges says. "He wanted to hear what some of these songs would sound like if I performed them. I thought it sounded like a fun idea."
What grew out of that proposition is Sexton Blake Plays The Hits. With covers ranging from Elton John to LL Cool J, ELO to Milli Vanilli, this album is a perfect snapshot in time that shows how Hodges would go on to approach his own songs under the Starfucker moniker. "It's a pretty funny selection of songs, some ridiculous and some legit," he explains, "I had a lot of fun making this record."
Previously only available digitally, Sexton Blake Plays The Hits is now available on 180-gram clear gold 2xLP (limited to 1,000 and comes with instant MP3 download) and will be in stores July 17th. This is the first time these songs have been made available on vinyl!
The album is available RIGHT NOW through our online store HERE.
