Kill Rock Stars Pride Showcase and New Money album release show — 6.30.22 (Premiering at 6pm PST / 9pm EST on the KRS YouTube channel)
Thank you to Isaiah Esquire, GreenLight Creative, The Dandy Warhols, Banana Stand Media, X-Laser, INDÍGENA, Gucci, my team at the label, and the whole crew who helped make this happen.
I was being interviewed for an upcoming story and when they asked about what I hope people take away from this new record, I said my entire goal this album cycle has been to be so unabashedly queer that even people who thought they were pro-gay before go “Ewww!” whenever they see me, hear the songs, or watch the videos.
After my weird Hollywood thing ended in 2018, I knew I needed to take some time to just be alone with myself and the baby dog on the beach. We stayed out there for 8 months together, until hiding from disaster became its own disaster.
The pandemic hit shortly after we returned to the real world and then there was no world anymore at all. I found myself on another island, just me and the baby dog, and we have been here ever since.
I will never stop feeling grateful for the solitude. It’s what I had been needing for decades. And I will never stop feeling grateful for the baby dog. She saved me. I had been asking the universe for peace and kindness for years and it finally found me.
“This Portland artist’s latest album is a well-crafted set of New Wave-influenced electro-pop with bright synths, propulsive rhythms and buoyant melodies.” – KEXP
“A testament to queer power and gay joy” – GLAAD
“The sound of lo-fi New Order fused to Depeche Mode grime, albeit with lots more hedonism, gay sex, and musical provocations of the most pleasurable sort — the guy knows what he’s doing, and it’s a delicious thrill to hear.” – The A.V. Club
“An amazing piece of musical art. New Money makes you dance and it makes you think. Masterfully captures the juxtaposition between dance and thought, between light and dark.” – Portland Radio Project
“Logan Lynn returned with the delightfully high energy album New Money and fabulous songs like the ultra-danceable Rich And Beautiful really are testament as to why Lynn has endured as long as he has.” – God Is In The TV (UK)
“Simple, direct and effective. With this album, Lynn has tapped into the consciousness and sound of 1980s synthpop and stripped it back to the bare bones, leaving only deep hooks and emotion on display.” – musicOMH
“Empowering + Euphoric” – Mundane Magazine
“A tribute to finding community when feeling like an outcast.” – Voice of America
“Kill Rock Stars were my label of the year in ‘21 on their 30th anniversary and one reason they’re still vital is Logan Lynn, whose latest New Money is full of heartfelt lyrics worn hard on a Gucci sleeve, backed by disco ballsy glitch. Upbeat music with melancholic yet optimistic lyrics, it’s a real effervescent blast, a slap of cologne round your chops.” – Velvet Sheep (UK)
“We loved Logan Lynn’s new album. Musically speaking, it’s super catchy, danceable, sensual, scintillating, halfway between 80s Synthpop and 2020s Electropop. With New Money, Logan Lynn seems to send a rainbow loaded with good vibes from Portland and it feels good.” – La Parisienne Life (France)
“Logan Lynn captures the high beauty and strength of simple togetherness.” – Backseat Mafia
