Athens, Ga., has churned out a steady stream of great bands in the last three decades, including R.E.M., Of Montreal, Drive-By Truckers, Neutral Milk Hotel, Brian Burton (a.k.a. Danger


Mouse) and more. Reptar figured to join that list in 2012 with its full-length debut, _Body Faucet_. At the time, the dance-pop band was riding a wave of buzz from its energetic live shows


and a successful EP, but _Body Faucet_ gave listeners only a glimpse of the group's potential. Where _Body Faucet_ failed, Reptar's new _Lurid Glow_ succeeds, as it captures and


ultimately corrals the essence of an almost absurdist live sound. That's never truer than in "Cable," which starts with a lone drumbeat that gives the composition focus and


conveyor-belt-like efficiency. Spurred on by the madcap vocals of singer Graham Ulicny, who alternates between a yelp and a growl, the band gets to work building layers of guitars, keys and


synthesizers. The track reaches its peak at the minute mark, as an astonishing horn section pops up to lend each and every note an exclamation point. It's an all-in approach that suits


Reptar well. Copyright 2022 opbmusic.org. To see more, visit .
