Here’s the transcript from my interview with Azltron’s Aaron Z. Lee:

Logan Lynn is an artist out of Portland, Oregon that has recently been signed to the Dandy Warhol’s “Beat the World” label. His new album “From Pillar to Post” is an emotional journey through sprawling soundscapes of sparkling pop melodies and jagged glitchy beats. As the press release on his web page says; “He Puts the “Disco” back in “Discomfort”.

A: How did your interest in music begin?

L: Well, I grew up in a SUPER conservative religious home…I was LITERALLY the son of a preacher man…so, most music aside from church music was outlawed in our house. My parents had some John Denver tapes as well as the “Footloose” soundtrack mixed in with all of the Contemporary Christian music, which I gravitated toward at a very young age and proceeded to play to death. This is totally fucked, but when I was 10 I started going to Target with my mom and stealing “secular” (aka outlawed) CD’s which I kept in the bottom of a trash can at home to hide from my parents. All of that was very “Footloose” too, now that I think about it. Eventually they found the stash and I got caught stealing, so the jig was up. There was no internet back then, so from there I had to get creative in order to get music. I recall convincing my folks that “Jesus Jones” was a guy’s name and that Tori Amos’s song “God” was a hymn. These sorts of plans always worked until somebody paid attention, then the jig would be up again.

…but here is a little bit of what they had to say to tide you over…

From URB Magazine’s “Next 1000”:

“Paired with DJ Carlos Cortes of Assemble the Empire, the singer/songwriter sets his heartfelt confessionals to the sound of blaring synths, driving drum rhythms, and pulsing basslines. Sonically adventurous yet possessing the pop sensibilities that lesser artists would forsake in the name of artsiness, Lynn is set to become the new golden boy of sensitive electro-pop.”

WE ARE ALL LIKING THE SOUND OF THAT!

YAY.
