Pylon Poets – Lucid
Hallucinations EP 
Release Date: 18th
December 2020
This is a bold and polished new
EP from Torquay trio Pylon Poets and it’s a great example of fresh rock talent
emerging in the UK. The four track collection opens with ‘Reverie’ which has
Muse-esque tones to the anthem filling riffs and major-minor chord changes but
there’s also a sense of the Killers to the sing along chorus full of pop hooks
and killer melodies. ‘Abandon’ is up next which has sticks out less than its
predecessor but still chugs and punches in all the right places and is primed
for a night time driving video shoot.
On ‘Breathe’ the band strip it
down for the obligatory rock ballad which pulses and broods with dark energy in
a way that you might expect from Linkin Park or Shihad in their more gentle
moments. The EP finishes with ‘Rise and Call’ which has more of a swagger as
the guitars snake around the vocals to create a many headed beast. If you like
your rock with a dark energy but still keeping one eye on the melodies and
songwriting then Pylon Poets will be right up your street.
