Los Angeles, CA - March 29, 2012 - "Orifice
Origami", the second offering from Reptar's forthcoming
full-length debut release Body Faucet is currently
premiering at RCRD LBL. The track further showcases the
band's knack for creating infectious dance-drive electro melodies. "The
song is about exploring the possibilities of our physical and social forms.
How do we place limitations on where our bodies and minds can take us?"
said the band of the song.
Today the band also released a new album trailer for Body
Facuet (see below). Body Faucet will be released on
May 1st via Vagrant Records. Produced by Ben Allen (Animal Collective, Gnarls
Barkley, Washed Out),Body Faucet is the follow-up to the
group's heralded debut EP Oblangle Fizz Y'all, which Rolling
Stone praised for its, "...blend of upbeat rhythms,
reggae-infected vocals and psychedelic textures." In celebration of the
release the band will play a hometown show in Athens, GA on May 4th at 40
Watt (tickets on-sale tomorrow).
Reptar has been on the road for the majority of 2012 and
will continue to play through the coming months, including May and June
support dates with Grouplove. At the recent South By Southwest festival in
Austin, Texas the band played an ambitious 13 shows over the course of just
five days.
Body Faucet finds the band delving deeper into
world-music influences to compliment their unique blend of danceable and
electro infused pop. As put by Spin Magazine, "Their playful electro-pop
channels MGMT's debut-album psychedelic-yet-ready-for-the-masses sheen, and
their rambunctious antics recall the Black Lip's punk bravado."
Hailing from Athens, GA, Reptar began playing music in
late 2008. Since then, the boisterous quartet has gained a reputation for
their riotous, must-see live show. Paste Magazine declared, "These
Southern-fried electronic Afro-poppers are known for the sticky dance riots
of their live shows." Reptar likes to first and foremost make
people dance, and have been likened to The Talking Heads, Animal Collective,
Prince, and The Jackson 5.
In addition to the spectacle of their live show, Reptar
are also known for their intimate house party performances. In true DIY
spirit, the band has played countless shows in cramped living rooms and
backyards around the country.
Reptar is Graham Ulicny (Vocals, Guitar), Andrew McFarland
(Drums), Ryan Engelberger (Bass), and William Kennedy (Synth, Keys).
