Reptar continues a tradition of dance-pop fun in the group’s full-length debut, “Body Faucet.” With vocal inflections as wobbly and abstract as the rest of the group’s synth-filled music, the album boasts excitedly joyful melodies with clinking guitar riffs and solos. Tracks run through multiple stages as new elements chime in throughout the progression of each track. With experience under their belts and help from producer Ben Allen of Animal Collective and Gnarls Barkley, the group reached a clearness in “Body Faucet” that wasn’t present in previous work. But many of these tracks, while enthusiastic and energetic, present very similar tempos and tones. The few moments when the band attempts to break this pattern come off as somewhat awkward. Grade: B+
