Manchester-based alt-rock trio thistle have shared their new song, "pylon", the latest preview of their upcoming EP, backflip.
"pylon" follows previous singles "tied" and "pieces" as the third taster of backflip, their second EP arriving after their 2025 debut, It's Nice to See You, Stranger.
Speaking about the new single, the band say: “’pylon' was the last song that we wrote before going into the
studio, coming together in a Cardiff, Wales rehearsal studio. 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!”
