Reptaliens are back! The Portland based band will be following up their 2017 debut LP 'FM-2030' with their upcoming release, 'VALIS'. (out April 26th on Captured Tracks)
The band also dropped a new music video for their track 'Shuggie II' from their sophomore LP, and will be on tour with Turnstile and Turnover this spring. (tour dates down below)
Cole Browning gives a brief synopsis of the music video:
"The video for 'Shuggie II' cycles through an alien’s understanding of various Earthly archetypes--each one portrayed by a different band member--culled from a collection of short stories. Together, the individual characters create a Village People-type vibe and it was fun to lean into that concept and see how everyone reacted to their assigned roles. Our dog, Hambone, kept running in front of the green screen and getting in the way of shots, so we decided the only option was to add him into the video. He's chillin' with the alien because dogs are aliens too."
