Editorial Reviews

“They say people change their cell structure every seven years, so I’ve totally regenerated several times since we started Pylon forty years ago,” says Vanessa Briscoe Hay, frontwoman for that iconic Athens band and now frontwoman for Pylon Reenactment Society. “Over the course of your life, you’re going to learn new things. Your mind is going to change and expand. I’m a lot older now, and I can’t be something I’m not anymore. Pylon is our guiding star, but we’re not Pylon. We’re Pylon Reenactment Society.” It's easier to explain what Pylon Reenactment Society isn’t than what it actually is. It’s not a continuation or a reunion, because Vanessa is the only member in both groups. It’s neither a tribute act nor a cover band, although they do perform Pylon songs. Instead, this new band draws inspiration from that old band, taps into its motivating principles. Pylon Reenactment Society’s Magnet Factory organically grew out of jams and writing sessions over several years. As the album took shape, the lyrics peeled away at the layers of time and shared spaces that make up a life. A pair of unrecorded songs by Pylon were brought in to round out this collective unspoken theme. All the music was recorded by the current four members of the band (Vanessa Briscoe Hay, Jason NeSmith, Kay Stanton, Gregory Sanders) with a stellar vocal duet with the incomparable Kate Pierson of The B-52’s. Magnet Factory is set for release on February 9, 2024 via Strolling Bones Records. 1. Spiral 2. Educate Me 3. Flowers Everywhere 4. Messenger 5. 3 x 3 6. Fix It 7. Boom Boom 8.

    If you even know what Pylon was, you are probably going to enjoy this record. My CD copy was indeed signed, but not sure how many signed copies are available on here. This seems to be a case of a "one original member" scenario, but with a group of other Athens-based musicians, it sounds just like the real thing. These are fun original songs with danceable post punk rhythms and off-kilter guitar lines. These songs do not garner any nostalgia from me because I wasn't around, and also because music like this is timeless. Not timeless in the sense of golden oldies, timeless as in existing outside of time. This whole genre was a bit of a dead end that didn't really go anywhere near the popular zeitgeist. It simply sounds fresh and new because it is. There's nothing like it now, and not a whole lot like it back then either.

    Ricordo di aver letto un'affermazione di Michael Stipe che introduceva i Pylon, suoi conterranei stretti provenienti da Athens GI. Ebbene, ascoltando "Crazy", uno dei primi singoli del gruppo, forse la loro canzone più celebre e coverizzata di lì a poco dagli stessi REM, Michael osservava con disarmante sincerità come i Pylon del 1980 fossero molto ma molto meglio dei REM stessi. Allora la band della vigorosa cantante Vanessa Briscoe Hay sembrava lanciata verso il successo, reduce da uno splendido album d'esordio, "Gyrate", che raccolse elogi da entrambe le parti dell'oceano e fu stampato addirittura anche in Italia, cosa rarissima per un gruppo underground americano. La storia ci racconta invece che già dal secondo vacillante "Chomp", l'attenzione di media e pubblico verso i Pylon scemò velocemente, a mio parere in maniera abbastanza immeritata. La loro brillante miscela di college rock "intenso" non era già più la "next big thing" da vendere al pubblico. Peccato, anzi peccatissimo. I Pylon erano una band straordinaria, a metà tra i Talking Heads ed i B52s. Alta propulsione ritmica con tendenza al dub e chitarre indiavolate che nulla avevano da invidiare a gruppi ben più noti e celebrati della new wave a stelle e strisce. Tuttavia la sorte riservò loro l'oblio e nemmeno il postumo "Chomp" riuscì a risollevarne le sorti. Un milione di anni dopo, i Pylon si sono riformati , prima per un live vigoroso e poi, definitivamente, per questo nuovo album, decisamente interessante. Le sonorità sono sempre quelle, forse un pò addolcite e stemperate dal tempo. Ma in questa nuova versione "collettivo", i Pylon (ribattezzati non senza ironia "Pylon Reenactment Society") non sfigurano affatto. "Magnet" scaturisce dalle loro sessioni più recenti ed i PRS sanno graffiare ancora come allora. Un tuffo nel passato dunque ma senza nostalgia e con una rinnovata verve compositiva. In definitiva questo album non sfigura affatto rispetto all'antico materiale dei Pylon ed apre uno scenario nuovo ed attuale ad una band che consideravamo perduta per sempre..
