CUBBY CONTROL RECORDS ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF THE PLANET OF PROGKP ALBUM, REPTIEL’S SCIENCE FICTION-THEMED SEQUEL TO THEIR EUPHONIOUS FANTASY FOREGOER HOBBITOZZ … A LAND THAT NEVER WAS

San Francisco psych-rock and experimental music label Cubby Control Records announces the release of a new album by label veterans REPTIEL entitled The Planet of Progkp. A science-fiction sequel to their euphonious fantasy foregoer Hobbitozz … A Land That Never Was, the new release is the fourth album by REPTIEL and the second of a multi-part series of psychedelic sci-fi/fantasy rock albums the band is composing.

Continuing the “plush,” theatrical” and “atmospheric” (The Big Takeover, 2016) sound and mood of Hobbitozz, The Planet of Progkp finds the protagonist of “the land that never was” ushered through spacetime to “a world unlike any other, where shadows reign and the sun has set forever.”

REPTIEL was formed in 2009 by members of seminal San Francisco bands The Cubby Creatures, Thee More Shallows and The Druggles. The REPTIELians claim to practice “ritual musick” in order to summon their stories and sounds, and only rarely do they perform live due to the various members’ agoraphobia, superstitiousness, and severe anxiety.

The Planet of Progkp was recorded during 2016 and 2017 at Light Rail Studios in San Francisco by outsider record producer Elton Cunniffe who is responsible for some of the most unheard underground recordings in San Francisco history.
