PYLON - Keep Your Melody Hands On My Burning Gems

Pylon (not the Athens, USA act but their Finnish namesakes) drew their sleeve themselves and made something psychedelic out of it. And thats how they sound too, with lots of LSD-sounds-on-reverb. Imagine Spacious Mind or St. Mikael (Pylons Moving zorros" is a bit folkish) without the songs and without any heavy guitar at hand, just for the wooden sound, in an experimental workshop somewhere, and add some 1967 lysergics from Middle Earth. "Keep Your Melody..." features five weird but wonderful instrumentals which echo what Syd Barrett must have been feeling like while all that craziness on Recommended was happening in the eighties..." - (pv) / u zine.\r\n"And yet another fine blat from the woods of Finland: Pylon are a duo who combine the lost campfire ethos of some neo-no wavers currently making the rounds. How they arrived at the synthetic mix contained on "Keep Your Melody Hands On My Burning Gems" is something that I am unable to explain, but it is equally difficult to ignore the strange mucus-laden braying of this platter. The sleeve claims that it is Pylons fifth "album", but this is presumed to be a canard. It is very unlikely that a group this odd could have escaped attention for four entire releases." - Byron Coley/The Wire.
