Reptile World by The Psychic Alliance
In summer 2008 we attempted to record our first set of demos, a four track release titled "Reptile World" after a favourite tourist attraction of ours in Drumheller. Unfortunately, due to the efforts of a disgruntled band member, the EP was never completed, and it wound up taking us three more years to record a proper LP, by which point the material from Reptile World was no longer in our current song rotation. It always rubbed us a little wrong that we never completed the EP, and in Spring of 2019 we set out to polish off the recordings, as well as add a batch of new stuff that we never got around to recording on any of our other LPs. So here now, is our little bedroom album, completed in the home-recording lo-fi style intended for our original demo EP. Hope it gets us some gigs.

The less you know about this band, the better. Rumor has it that they're very bad people, paranoid, misanthropic, frequently given to melancholy and intellectual dullards to boot. Stories of vicious infighting and naughtiness follow them like a black cloud, and the threat of immediate collapse is constant. Fortunately they look cool.
