Lone Kodiak Releases New Song “REPTILIAN”
Los Angeles-based rock band Lone Kodiak, consisting of Dainéal Parker (vocals/guitar), Daniel Alden (bass), Josh Harris (drums) and Ben Palmer (guitar), released a new song “REPTILIAN” on May 9, 2025.
The song is the first single off of their upcoming EP “No Receiver”, which is set to be released on June 20, 2025.
The EP is their first project since the 2024 debut album “If We Have a Future” and will be initially available as a limited run of just 200 7” vinyls, with streaming access to follow.
The lyrics conjure visions of cryptid mutation, isolation, misread signals and false transmissions, where belief curdles into obsession, and certainty becomes a kind of madness.
The track was written by Ben Palmer, Daniel Alden, Daniel Parker, and Josh Harris. Produced by Rob Daiker.- The band lead singer Dainéal Parker said of the song, “For the vocals I wanted to try something different and was weirdly inspired by Danish band Heilung, with their use of multiple vocalization styles, incorporating chants and whatnot. I'm sure it exists, but I had never heard whispers laid down over a punk beat, but it worked well when we tried it in the demo. Later, when we swapped out my voice with [our bassist] Alden's for lines 1 and 3 of the verses, is when it really came together and became something special.”
They added, “This promo features a piece from Deaf actress Lizbeth Bravo’s ASL interpretation and performance of the song. Working with her was a gift.” -
