"[6] On May 28, 2019, Pylon Reenactment Society performed at Primavera Sound 2019 in Barcelona, Spain upon a brand new stage sponsored by Heineken just for cult artists.
[7] On September 29, 2023 Pylon Reenactment Society announced the release of their debut album, Magnet Factory, which came out February 9, 2024 on Strolling Bones Records.
Met with critical acclaim, Uncut Magazine awarded the album an 8/10 rating in the March 2024 issue, saying "Magnet Factory finds the quartet in scintillating form, shifting smartly between angular noise-pop and nervy punk-funk, topped with Hay’s spiky vocals… a terrific debut from American post-punk veterans."
The Associated Press said, "...Briscoe Hay remains a distinctive, boundary-defying songwriter… Amid the algorithm-driven din that now fills earbuds, Magnet Factory sounds as fresh as Pylon first did… from start to finish, the band is an irresistible blend of simplicity and synchronicity, the music both edgy and therapeutic.
Their review reads “ “Christmas Daze” is a brisk and understated effort, one that meditates on the lonely side of the holiday but also brims with a welcoming energy.
Briscoe Hay’s vocals are warm and lilting while the rhythm section brings the track along at a steady propulsive pace, carried by an ever-present bass riff and shimmering bursts of guitar.
The lush washes of guitar and tambourine that accent the song feel like Christmas lights going on and off, punctuating the track’s lyrics with cozy swells of melody and gentle rays of hope.”[11] On January 19, 2024 the video for the single “Fix It,” featuring vocals from Kate Pierson of The B-52’s, premiered in Paste Magazine.
