Album Notes & Community Reviews

A pillar of the legendary Athens, Georgia music scene, Pylon's second album perfectly channels the kinetic, manic energy of art punk into tight, remarkably danceable structures. 'Chomp' is driven by Curtis Crowe鈥檚 thunderous, unconventional drumming and Vanessa Briscoe Hay鈥檚 incredibly rhythmic vocal shouts. The record is a deeply playful, fiercely energetic post-punk classic packed with jangling guitars and driving basslines.
