Just received a copy of Logan Lynn’s new full length offering called, “From Pillar to Post” (due out later this year). Logan Lynn delivers on the promise of his hit, “Feed Me To The Wolves” by creating a rich, atmospheric and electronic collection of sounds and voice. Several stand out tracks on the album include:
If He Hollers - A cross breed of Depeche Mode starkness with Duran Duran production sensibilites. Easly one of the best tracks on the album!
Bottom Your Way To The Top – Industrial sounds and dark brooding make up the body of this track. In my mind, the video that is conjured upon listening to this track is: A slow free fall down an elevator shaft with glimpses of your troubled past on each floor.
Burning Your Glory – Melancholy heartache never sounded so pretty, simply breathtaking.
Logan Lynn – Burning Your Glory
Now this is how you do an intro and build up the suspense and keep adding elements till you hit a crescendo.
Pehrson & Torbjørn Brundtland – Geared Up (ft. Annie)
Rough and ready production courtesy of one Kanye West, vocals samples of Santogold, and the lyrical stylings of Jay-Z all add up to one sic track. The backing track sounds like a dark and mysterious marching band making its way through thick fog, think zombie dark. This track is currently on the soundtrack for Notorious.
Lyrics snippet:
The sun don’t come out for many, like Annie
Half orphan, mama never had an abortion
Papa sort of did, still I managed to live
That last line kills…
Jay-Z – Brooklyn Go Hard (ft. Santogold)
Throwing out this jam from the hayday of Electroclash by Proper Filthy Naughty which features vocals from Pussycat (aka Barbara Alcindor).
Proper Filthy Naughty – Fascination (ft. Pussycat)
Catchy as all hell with 60’s inspired northern soul groove. From the get-go, this tune is pure fun and would fit nicely on a motion picture soundtrack me thinks.
