STRFKR - Reptilians (10-Year Anniversary Edition) (2021) Hi Res

Reptilians is the third studio album by the Portland-based electronic indie rock band STRFKR. Departing from the light feel of their previous work, Jupiter (2009), the twelve-track Reptilians includes lyrics by Joshua Hodges about death and the end of the world, while musically not sounding depressing. One of the ways these theories are supported is using samples of British-American philosopher Alan Watts in some of the tracks.

The 10-Year Anniversary Edition edition compiles the original album with both bonus tracks featured on the deluxe edition, as well as two all-new bonus tracks!

Sometimes I get sucked into the rabbit hole of watching conspiracy videos all night. One of the theories is that there's an alien race that are called Reptilians that control the human race and like to make them their slaves. It's pretty wild. That's where the name came from. And the album is loosely about the end of the world and death so it seemed to be fitting. We had some other ideas – and I always like to have a song that is the title track and that song was already called 'Reptilians' so we just thought it was perfect.
