From “32ft/Second”:

“Logan Lynn dropped into my email client with the warning or excitement that he was recommended by The Dandy Warhols. Both artists make their homes in Portland, but the similarities pretty much stop there. In fact, Logan Lynn sounds nothing like the Dandy Warhols. This, of course, doesn’t mean that the Dandys can’t like him. They are free to make artistic choices on their own, at least so I’ve been told.

And this affection makes sense. Lynn’s sound is the shuddering electro-pop of a Postal Service arrangement gone on a colorful amphetamine bender. Even the lyrics betray the drama of Gibbard. Once you get underneath Lynn’s rhetoric, “Feed Me To The Wolves” is a pleading, full-of-promises mediation on emotional pain. As low-end synths growl ominously, bright electrics of treble stab at the top of the mix – a musical dichotomy of loathing and hope to mirror his lyrical posing. Lynn is candid: “I’ll die before I find a way to ease this pain.” Perhaps, he’s kidding and perhaps not. He’s free to make artistic choices on his own; and “Feed Me To The Wolves” is a good one.”

The folks over at the music blog “Your Moment Of Zen” had some nice stuff to say about the new record today! You can check the full post out HERE

…and now for a bit of the review:

“Technology has allowed for some truly amazing developments in music. These days one can write, record, remix, package and distribute an entire body of work with little or no help from anyone else. Marry this to the splintering of the music industry where labels are less important as a connection to alternative media outlets and you have an entirely new methodology of music. The human connection is more important than ever when it comes to getting people to listen to your music. So the fact that I am even reviewing music from Portland based Logan Lynn is a testament to his connections.

Signed to the label founded by THE DANDY WARHOLS is a step in the right direction. Even though musically Lynn’s sound is as far away from the Warhols, the name recognition helped me give it a chance. “Feed Me To the Wolves” almost sounds like a lost DEPECHE MODE B side (back when they gave a damn and weren’t just manufacturing sounds for a paycheck) whereas “Write It On My Left Arm” has more of a Laptop Pop Feel (a la THE POSTAL SERVICE) but with more vocal effects. Other parts of the album have a more atmospheric approach that recalls MOBY in both music and vocals.

Apparently Mr. Lynn is quite prolific and after releasing this latest record he plans on two more in the near future. Which is also a by product of this new DIY computer culture of music; a near endless stream of creativity direct to the consumers. And that is never a bad thing…”
