' '
,: Portland, OregonÆs Reptaliens is the husband and wife team of :,
: Cole and Bambi Browning. The couple met on a basketball court :
:' while filming a music video for a mutual friendÆs band that ':
,: didnÆt exist. The two knew almost instantly they were soul :,
: mates; after dating for six months, they married under a blanket :
:' of smoke from the seasonÆs forest fires. ':
,: :,
: :
:' ':
,: Named in reverence for their interests in cult mentality, :,
: transhumanism, and conspiracy theories, Reptaliens quickly :
:' evolved from a bedroom-recording project to a full-fledged band ':
,: that explores fringe pop culture through analog synthesizers, :,
: electric guitars, melodic bass lines, and BambiÆs lulling :
:' vocals. The pairÆs songwriting mirrors their strong connection. ':
,: As Cole says, ôBambi and I write all the music. Sometimes we :,
: work together to construct songs and sometimes I'll come home :
:' from work and sheÆll have a masterpiece finished and perfectly ':
,: crafted. We both add to each otherÆs songs and none really seem :,
: completely Bambi's or mine. We do everything together.ö :
:' ':
,: :,
: :
:' Inspired by all things science fiction, writers like Philip K. ':
,: Dick and Haruki Murakami, and music ranging from Paul McCartney/ :,
: Wings to African artists Francis Bebey and Julee Cruise, the :
:' band creates psychedelic, chameleonic dreamscapes that fall ':
,: sonically and visually somewhere between abstract expressionism :,
: and surrealism. These ideas and influences all coalesce on :
:' FM-2030 û named after the renowned transhumanist writer and ':
,: philosopher û the bandÆs debut album on Captured Tracks. Full of :,
: dreamy melodies and catchy hooks, tracks like ôIf You Wantö and :
:' ô29 Palmsö are wistful love songs straight from the heart. But ':
,: the feel-good vibe often belies something a bit more sinister, :,
: like on ô666 Busö where Bambi coos: ôMaybe IÆll get hit by a bus :
:' while I was dreaminÆ of falling in love / Or maybe IÆll fall in ':
,: love and die of a broken heart.ö :,
: :
:' ':
,: :,
: Thematically based around obsession, Bambi says she ôgravitates :
:' toward other peopleÆs obsessions and draws inspiration from ':
,: them. I like to think of method acting and personify myself as :,
: the obsessor, writing from their perspective. I love pretending :
:' and creating around these personalities.ö This play-acting on ':
,: record translates to the bandÆs sincere and theatrical live :,
: performances that involve homemade costumes and on-stage guest :
:' appearances from a giant reptile-man. ':
,: :,
: :
:' ':
,: FM-2030 was recorded at famed Portland studio The Green House :,
: with Riley Geare. As long time, active participants in the :
:' Portland music scene, Bambi and Cole call on a number of ':
,: talented musicians for ReptaliensÆ recordings and live :,
: performances, including Julian Kowalski (guitar), Bryson Hansen :
:' (synth), and Tyler Vergian (drums). However, Cole is quick to ':
,: note, ôReptaliens is a concept more so than a band or any group :,
: of individuals. Those who are willing to let go and open :
:' themselves up to new experiences will be rewarded and ':
,: emboldened. Those who want to turn away will have no choice but :,
: to look. The truth is out there.ö :
