PYLON - CHOMP VINYL RE-ISSUE (LTD. ED. MULTI-COLOUR SPLATTER)

LIMITED EDITION MULTI-COLOUR SPLATTER VINYL RE-ISSUE

Release Date: 28th November 2025

Limited edition vinyl re-issue of the second album from the inspirational Athens, Georgia art-rock / post-punk band Pylon, who in their short-lived life between 1979 – 1983 would go on to influence the likes of R.E.M., Gang of Four, Sonic Youth, Sleater-Kinney, Interpol, and Deerhunter. ‘Chomp’ on this!

"In the late 1970’s Athens, Georgia was buzzing with a raw but sophisticated music scene. The turn of the decade began producing new sounds from bands like the B-52’s, R.E.M. and Art-Rock luminaries, Pylon. Before they were a band, Pylon were art-school students at the University of Georgia: four kids invigorated by big ideas about art and creativity and society. In 1980 the band released its first record, Gyrate and began touring across the country in support of the release. They would soon develop a following across the country. Shortly there after, Pylon went back into the studio. They gleefully pulled their songs apart and put them back together in new shapes, revealing a band of self-proclaimed non-musicians who had transformed gradually but noticeably into real ones. The resulting album was, Chomp. Now, more than three decades later, both studio recordings have been remastered from their original audio tapes and released on New West Records."
