…and now, for the interview…
From “Pop Reviews Now”:
“Logan Lynn may be virtually unknown to the mainstream music scene but around the indie music circles, he’s one of the biggest things ever. With acclaimed reviews for his newest release From Pillar To Post coming in from all around the world (and the internet) and the video for his lead single Write it On My Left Arm debuting on MTV, there’s no doubt that this guy will be here for years to come. So here’s what materialized when I picked his brains. Enjoy!
PRN: For my readers who haven’t heard of you yet, how would you describe yourself as an artist and your music?
LL: I think it’s safe to call what I do electropop, but I tend to explore the darker side of things lyrically and write about what’s real to me at any given time. Over the past decade since I released my first record my sound has evolved from a very stripped, lo-fi experience into what it is today. I think it’s much more musical now than ever before on the instrumental side, due to my working with such talented people in recent years instead of trying to do it all myself. It’s given me the chance to focus on the parts I am good at and let my collaborators handle the elements which fall under their expertise. It’s made the finished product more polished, full sounding…bigger.
PRN: To you, what is the most important element of a song – the instrumentation, the melody, the lyrics or what? Why?
LL: For me, it’s the Read the rest of this entry »

Interview with: Logan Lynn
Interview By: The Realist from GreenlandLive.net
Logan Lynn is a singer-songwriter with a background in the dance music scene as well as pop and rock and roll. ‘It’s hard to pinpoint what it is that I do and how exactly I go there.’ After slew a of mildly successful bands Logan went solo in 1998 and put out his first record called ‘GLEE’ in 2000. ‘The music was hard for the industry to categorize back then, so I have been lumped into a bunch of different categories (or NO category) ever since; ‘Emotronic’,’Crybaby Techno’,’Indie Electropop’…I figure people can call it whatever they like, as long as they are listening to my music.’
Logan hated his name growing up, but ‘it’s pretty enjoyable now because Logan Lynn just sounds like a stars name!’ People always assume that Logan Lynn is a band name, or a stage name, but really he’s just a solo act who has been really lucky to work with kick ass DJs and Producers since the start of his career in the 90’s. Logan grew up listening to and was influenced by artists like THE INNOCENCE MISSION, SAM PHILLIPS, THE SUNDAYS, TORI AMOS, LIZ PHAIR…and Logan is still listening to the same folks today; he really likes a lot of what is happening in music right now in the ladies world…REGINA SPEKTOR, LESLIE FEIST, EMILY HAINES, KATE NASH… “It’s good stuff. I’m, like…WAY inspired.”
As long as his music can keep growing in an honest direction and he can keep his finger on the pulse of what’s going on in his head as well as on the dance floor, he sees himself being in a really good place. Logan music is inspired by finding joy through sadness…a need to connect with like-minded individuals, “Different things drive it at different times…but it tends to revolve around my insecurities and struggles about being human.”
