I’ve been working with Y-Tron on a new record for next year and one of the tracks is a cover of The Dandy Warhols’ song “The Last High”. We’ve decided to go ahead and release it WAY in advance of the Y-Tron/LL EP and will be laying it on your ears at some point in the near future, so stay tuned! Y-Tron did the music and we have come up with a really cool new arrangement of their awesome song.
What was particularly cool about doing this was that I got to run the whole thing by Courtney (Taylor-Taylor) beforehand and he gave me his blessing and let me go into The Dandy Warhols’ studio with one of their engineers to record and mix the thing. I’ve said it before, but he’s RAD and when I was doing a last-minute lyric check with him he said “It’s yours now”, which made me grin ear to ear. I’m also happy to report that, upon hearing the first mix of the song, he still approved. WHEW!
🙂
I met with Bystander Productions tonight about doing a video for the track as well…I’ll keep you guys posted as things develop with this. Jeremy Sherrer and I will be finished mixing this coming week at some point, then it’s off to mastering, then…TO YOU! In the meantime, you can watch the original video that the Warhols made when they first released it HERE.
DANDYS RULE OK.
You can read the full review of “From Pillar To Post” (and nab a couple of the tracks) on “The Pop! Stereo” HERE.
Here’s a bit from the piece from “The Pop! Stereo” Music Blog:
“Oregonian, Logan Lynn is a troubadour who utilizes beats, synths and the preaching of the good word to convince the lovelorn and depressed that there’s more to life then being gutted all the time. Having released two previous albums that dwelled heavily on themes of religion, sexuality, and identity, the idea of singing to those troubled by all three is nothing new to Logan. On his third album, From Pillar to Post Logan Lynn has continued to develop his ability to lift troubled souls up via song and has also dived head on into exploring new sonic territory. As his bio states, he’s put the disco back in discomfort.
With an approach that’s pretty darn near close to the Postal Service, Logan Lynn weaves his tales around a rather shy and introspective voice that sounds as if they were written by the kid no one paid attention to. His outsider looking in perspective serves his ethereal like synth pop well as it sounds as if he’s whispering the lyrics to each song into your ear. As a result, From Pillar to Post is an intimate and personal record that anyone who has ever had any sort identity or relationship crisis can relate to.
From Pillar to Post is a lush, faithful and cozy record that will tug at your heart and give you a bear hug. It’s an emotional affair that might just bring you to tears. It’s Logan’s ability to write songs that are that heavy that makes him such a fantastic artist. The fact that he can successfully do it by laying it on the line in and packaging those hopes and tales of love and spirituality in the form of a pop song is a testament to the guy’s talent. Synth pop hasn’t had this much honesty and heart in a long time and that’s why I like From Pillar to Post as much as I do.”
