Pylon's Awesome Gyrate Gets Deluxe DFA Reissue
Some might say they really pile on the extras!
Mostly gone but hardly forgotten, Athens, GA's Pylon served as new wave pioneers, post-punk influencers, and all around rock'n'roll dynamos in their heyday. The band-- dormant for nearly two decades save for a few rare appearances in recent years-- will see their debut full-length Gyrate beefed up a bit and re-released (on CD for the first time!) by the superfans at the DFA label October 16.
In addition to the singular Gyrate, DFA have added a heretofore unreleased bonus track, "Functionality", plus the whole of their "Cool"/"Dub" single and the 10 Inch 45 RPM EP to their reissue of the 1980 LP. Brand new liner notes have been written by pals-of-Pylon Michael Stipe, B-52 Fred Schenider, and Gang of Four stickman Hugo Burnham.
Gyrate:
01 Cool
02 Dub
03 Volume
04 Feast on My Heart
05 Precaution
