If the Land of Misfit Toys elected a team of cultural ambassadors, Logan Lynn would be its poet laureate. In Portland's pulsating music scene, he occupies a singular position- an emo prophet with a penchant for electronic beats, preaching the Good Word to drug-damaged crybabies.
After getting a lo-fi mixtape from 1998 called "This Is Folk Techno" into the right hands, he released his debut album in 2000. Logan Lynn's "GLEE" is a blissful, sex-drenched romp through some emotionally treacherous territory. Produced by Pfog, heavy themes of religion, sexuality and identity played out alongside upbeat grooves and smiley-face rhythms. Logan Lynn's debut blended spleen-venting lyrics with "Let's Dance!" optimism and it's been said that Lynn "puts the DISCO back into DISCOMFORT."
His self-titled sophomore effort was released in 2006, using his earlier work as a springboard for exploring fresh sonic territory. The album release coincided with a performance for a crowd of over 400,000 alongside The Presets, Bob Mould and My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult at San Francisco's Folsom Street Fair. The release of "Logan Lynn" brought with it five music videos which can, for all intents and purposes, be credited for putting Lynn's music on the map.
A remix collaboration with Producer Carlos Cortes of Portland DJ collective Assemble The Empire yielded an E.P. entitled "Feed Me To The Wolves", which was released in the fall of 2007. In 2008, Logan hosted the music television show "NewNowNext" on MTV's Logo Network and his video for "Feed Me To The Wolves" was picked by the network as one of the "TOP 10 OF 2008"!
Lynn was signed to The Dandy Warhols' record label, "BEAT THE WORLD" RECORDS and released his much anticipated 3rd full length record, "FROM PILLAR TO POST" ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND, 2009, direct to fans alongside a 4-Volume Remix EP collection called "Blood In The Water", which features Remixes by Styrofoam, Boy In Static, The Gentry, Ariake Waveband, Y-Tron, and MANY more. The exclusive pre-release of "From Pillar To Post" is happening NOW and the street date is slated for 11/24/09!!!

"(Logan Lynn) sets his heartfelt confessionals to the sound of blaring synths, driving drum rhythms, and pulsing basslines. Sonically adventurous yet possessing the pop sensibilities that lesser artists would forsake in the name of artsiness, Lynn is set to become the new golden boy of sensitive electro-pop." -URB Magazine _________________________ “Logan Lynn hails from Portland, OR and crafts some delightfully warm synth-pop…Feed Me to the Wolves toes the line between Cut Copy’s epic chimes and Ladytron’s dancefloor squiggling.” -Under The Radar Magazine _________________________ "From Pillar To Post is more than just an electro-pop hustle; Lynn's solemn vocal intonations - monotone and richly verbose - transform what would otherwise simply be stunningly melancholy dance-punk into another, less traveled road of stoic expression...It's probably the best album, electronic or otherwise, to have been released out of Portland this entire year." -The Deli Magazine _________________________ "A dayglo electro performer, Lynn’s ecstatic intelligence and untempered glee resembles a sweaty Postal Service capable of inelegant emotions or The Pet Shop Boys were they sorta hot and born to the civil unions generation...Another soldier joins the ranks, and I, for one, welcome our new glam overlords. 'Keep Portland Intriguing And Pretty And Well-Drugged' would be a far better bumper sticker." -Local Cut _________________________ "Moody dance-pop...Logan Lynn's electro-fueled music merges God, country, love and gloomy, artfully electronic tinged mope-pop sound...Lynn’s music puts the “disco” back into discomfort." -MTV's Logo Network, NewNowNext Blog _________________________ “Lynn crafts hooky electro-pop tinged with equal parts melancholy and party-starter. Built of beats and straightforward emotion, his music charms its way into your skull with definite ease....Heartstrings and dance beats go hand in hand when it comes to the tunes of Portland resident Logan Lynn...his tunes provide the bait and hook for the lovesick among us. He's got earnest, understanding lyrics that ponder love and all of its shortcomings, strewn over catchy music that guides you to the dance floor so you can forget all about it". -Willamette Week
