“This Seattle sextet does it all: it grooves, it rocks, it squawks - occasionally, it even talks. Mostly, it sounds like a New Orleans jazz band on crystal meth.”
- Jazziz Magazine
“The manically fun Reptet make new music by merrily hopping around the history of jazz.”
– The Stranger
Monktail Records and Reptet are pleased to announce the release of Reptet’s new 7” vinyl record/digital release entitled Agendacide, available online and in stores on October 27th.
Reptet will be performing original music from the record and other new compositions at their record release party, held at The Tractor Tavern. The event will also include a performance by Orkestar Zirkonium, the Balkan-inspired, mobile, brass-and-drum troupe.
Agendacide is being released as a digital download and 7” red vinyl record, and features stunning cover art by the late great jazz illustrator, Jim Flora. The record was produced by Reptet and features a guest appearance by the world-renowned composer/keyboardist Wayne Horvitz on Hammond organ. Recorded in January of 2009 by Doug Haire (Leslie Dalaba, Wally Shoup) at Jack Straw Productions in Seattle. Overdubs, mixing and mastering were done by Mell Dettmer (Eyvind Kang, Mr. Bungle, Skerik’s Syncopated Taint) at Alpha Studios and Sinister Kitchen, Seattle. The recording and production of Agendacide were made possible, in part by the Jack Straw Artists Support Program.
