Reptar announced that their debut full-length album, Body Faucet, will be released on May 2st via Vagrant Records!
Produced by Ben Allen, Body Faucet is the follow up to the group’s heralded debut EP Oblanle Fizz Y’all, which Rolling Stone praised for its “…blend of upbeat rhythms, reggae-infected vocals and psychedelic textures.”
Check out the album track list below, along with upcoming tour dates.
“When we were recording the album, we tried to strike a balance between giving each song its own distinct character and identity and still having the album feel like a cohesive statement,” said the members of Reptar. “It feels like a long journey between a bunch of different parts of the same dream, some of them based in reality, some definitely not based in reality, and some based in space. We tried to keep a physical feel to all of the songs, where each one makes you want to move in a different way, while at the same time trying to create a specific and distinct feeling and atmosphere for each one.”

Reptar also unleashed a live performance trailer for the album with the song, “New House”, as the music bed. Trailer and embed codes are below.
In celebration of the release, Reptar kicked off an extensive run of U.S. dates in Nashville, TN at The Basement on February 20th and will wind down on April 14th at New York’s Bowery Ballroom.
