Pylon - Gyrate - Multi-Color Splatter Vinyl Record
Pylon's 1980 debut Gyrate is a cornerstone of the Athens, Georgia scene that also gave the world the B-52's and R.E.M. Formed by University of Georgia art students, the band approached rock as an art project, and the result still sounds startlingly fresh: angular guitar, rubbery bass lines and relentless, danceable rhythms.
Vanessa Briscoe Hay's urgent, chanted vocals drive "Feast On My Heart," "Volume" and "Danger," while Randy Bewley's guitar and Michael Lachowski's bass circle each other over Curtis Crowe's insistent drumming. The 11 songs feel minimal yet physical, and their influence runs through decades of post-punk and indie rock, with R.E.M. and Deerhunter among the many bands that have cited Pylon.
This New West Records reissue is remastered and pressed on limited multi-color splatter vinyl. An essential starting point for fans of post-punk and new wave, and a natural companion to Chomp.

Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
