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

LIMITED EDITION MULTI-COLOUR SPLATTER VINYL RE-ISSUE

Release Date: 28th November 2025

Limited edition viny re-issue of the debut 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. ‘Gyrate’ before it’s too late!

"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: invigorated by big ideas about art and creativity. In 1980 the band released its first record, Gyrate and began touring across the country in support of the release. Following the critical acclaim of Gyrate, 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 are set for release on New West Records."
