Pylo – Enemies (Young & Lost Download Club)
Release Date: 26th November
It’s debut single time again! It seems I get sent a lot of
these but I wouldn't have it any other way – I love a new band, fresh off the
presses. Pylo are a quintet from Bath who say they are aiming to be ‘more than
the sum of their parts’ which is a bold statement and also a slightly dangerous
one. ‘Enemies’ stumbles in as a gentle and inoffensive Mumford-esque strum along
and but is soon invigorated by some heavily distorted power chords. This
combination essentially makes Pylo a slightly heavier Coldplay but there is a
real sense with this song that it needs dragging along a bit. There are the
falsetto vocals, the loud-quiet-loud bits and, for a band that only formed in
early 2012, an incredibly polished sound but it just doesn't ignite. There is
no spark, no hook and not one stand out lyric. Fair play to the boys from Bath,
it’s an impressive debut but it does sound rather like a Snow Patrol album
track and at just under 5 minutes it’s perhaps a little too long for a single. I
reckon a little more gigging and refining though and Plyo could well be on to
something.
