Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging from the highly creative Athens, Georgia music scene alongside the B-52's, Pylon's debut is a masterclass in kinetic, bass-heavy dance-punk. 'Gyrate' intertwines Michael Lachowski's incredibly rhythmic basslines with Vanessa Briscoe Hay's wonderfully manic, raw vocal delivery, creating a fiercely energetic, playfully chaotic post-punk classic.
