Portland’s Logan Lynn, recently signed to The Dandy Warhols label, “Beat The World Records“, will be releasing his latest electronic pop record, this time with the help of Carlos Cortes and others, set for Fall of ’09. We received an advance copy of the album, titled, From Pillar To Post, and I’ve had it on repeat ever since.
Cassettes Won’t Listen fans, listen up. Lynn brings a plethora of electronic instrumentation to the table, with a slightly nasal voice, which I’m not usually so fond of, but works well for the poppy aura he’s looking to create. Much like The Dandy Warhols, Lynn keeps most of his tunes upbeat, and doesn’t drown in the melancholic sounds of several other artists within the same genre (e.g. Electric President, Eberg, Tunng). While the label is keeping most of the songs under tight wrap, they were kind enough to let us post a couple for your listening pleasure.
The two songs here are “Feed Me To The Wolves” and “Burning Your Glory”. Lucky for you folks, “Feed Me To The Wolves” is one of the best tracks on the album, and a clear standout from the get-go. The pounding synths and keys, along with processed vocals from Lynn, work to create a stunning pyschedelic explosion – yet somehow Lynn manages to keep the song thoroughly grounded at the same time, with Cortes’ illustrious production a big help. By the way, “Burning Your Glory” will be used in the pilot for a new TV show, Astoria, Queens. Oh, more New York City, yipppeeee.
