PYLON REENACTMENT SOCIETY EMBRACE PAST, FUTURE WITH “HEAVEN (IN YOUR EYES)” (PREMIERE)

Pop Matters online

2024-02-09

ylon Reenactment Society’s new album, Magnet Factory, arrives on 9 February via Strolling Bones Records. The group are a loving memorial to the legendary new wave/post-punk/jangle rock Pylon. Neither a tribute act nor a cover band, Pylon Reenactment Society was formed in 2014 as part of Art Rock Athens, a festival celebrating the vibrant music and visual arts scenes in Athens, Georgia. For that event, Vanessa Briscoe Hay assembled a multigenerational group of players, including members of her band Supercluster and Casper & The Cookies. In celebration of Magnet Factory‘s release, Pylon Reenactment Society have released a new video for the track “Heaven (In Your Eyes)”. The tune reminds listeners of Pylon’s forward-thinking sound, its alternate ability to report on the zeitgeist and predict what future generations would embrace. True to that aesthetic, the new tune sounds like it could have emerged in 1978 or 2024 or at a moment in time we have not yet reached.
