John Scott's Staff Pick: February 26, 2026

What’s up Sorry State readers? I hope everyone is enjoying their final week of February. I can’t believe we’re already here. Anyway, I just have a quick highlight for this week. I’d seen copies of Pylon’s Chomp come through the store, and the cover always caught my eye for some reason. I don’t know if it’s the dinosaur, the colors, or the rigid top that looks like a dinosaur literally chomped the top off, but it always stuck out to me. For some reason, though, I never just threw it on to listen. A couple of weeks ago someone must’ve traded in a newer reissue and we had it pretty cheap, so I checked it out and I really dug it. I’m always a sucker for some good female vocals, and the album has an infectious groove throughout. Just a nice refresher, cause sometimes I get stuck listening to the same artists/types of music over and over again, so this was a good switch-up. My favorite tracks on here are probably Yo-Yo, Italian Movie Theme, and Gyrate. Also, they give a shout-out to a random Winston-Salem restaurant on the back cover, which is kinda cool. I’m sure most of you have listened to this album before, but if you haven’t, check it out!
