Pitchfork: Pylon's Awesome Gyrate Gets Deluxe DFA Reissue

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.
