Chain (Pylon album)


Chain is the third studio album by American rock band Pylon, released in 1990. It was released after a seven-year hiatus.

Critical reception

thought that Pylon's "low registers, deliberate silences, and inexorably unmechanical beat all feed a muscular musical solidity with no real parallels--10 years after, the only band that sounds remotely similar is the Gang of Four." Trouser Press wrote: "While retaining the band’s traditional bite, Chain gets more melody and texture from Briscoe-Hay’s singing and Randy Bewley’s sharp guitar jabs."
