With a sound that's as exuberant as it is infectious, Athens, Georgia dance-pop quartet
Reptar have been scuffing up dancefloors since they formed in 2008. Featuring the talents of
Andrew McFarland,
Ryan Engelberger,
Graham Ulicny, and
William Kennedy, the band brings danceable electronic rock into the modern era with a sound that evokes the classic synth-drenched funk of
Prince and densely layered dance-pop of bands like
Passion Pit. The band toured for a couple years, delivering buzzworthy performances at showcases like South by Southwest, before bringing the party to the masses with its debut EP,
Oblangle Fizz Ya'll, in 2011.
Reptar joined forces with producer
Ben Allen (
Animal Collective,
Deerhunter,
Washed Out) for their full-length debut,
Body Faucet, which arrived the following May on Vagrant. ~ Gregory Heaney, Rovi
