thistle.'s backflip EP arrives next month, and so far we've heard "tied" and "pieces." The UK grungegaze trio is back today with "pylon," a ripper inspired by Monster.
"'pylon' was the last song that we wrote before going into the studio, coming together in a Cardiff, Wales rehearsal studio," the band explains. "Very much powered by Monster Energy. I genuinely credit the song to the energy drink. It's not a drink we particularly enjoy but it was the only high-caffeine beverage available at the time. Do what you can — write what you can — when in Cardiff!"
At only two and a half minutes, the track is powered by turbulent, hazy riffs that leave you wanting to linger in its embrace for longer. Dive in below.
The backflip EP is out 5/29 on REX RECS.
