Reptaliens' Debut Is Tender Psych-Pop

Portland’s Reptaliens| caught the attention of Captured Tracks before they’d even dropped an official release, and now the Brooklyn record label’s putting out their debut LP, FM-2030. The album’s named after transhumanist author and philosopher FM-2030, though it’s not quite as unconventional as his teachings.

Led by husband-wife duo Cole and Bambi Browning, Reptaliens’ live sets include guitarist Julian Kowalski, drummer Tyler Vergian (Lola Buzzkill, Dim Wit), and synth player Bryson Hansen (Bryson Cone, Fog Father). Together they make charming, airy, lo-fi pop music.
