Chain

Pylon

Thick bass notes and pneumatic beats define this 1990 return. A masterclass in high-tension art-rock that feels both muscular and incredibly lean.

It's like a clockwork machine made of bass strings and art-school nerves.

A relentless, rhythmic tension that feels both physically grounding and intellectually stimulating.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the bass line on Look Alive anchors the track while the guitar scratches at the edges.
The sudden, sharp rhythmic shifts in B-Complex that feel like a physical jolt.
Vanessa Briscoe-Hay's transition from a cool monotone to a jagged shout during the climax of Crunch.
