Write It On My Left Arm (Y-Tron’s Leaving Clues Remix) mp3 Logan Lynn From Pillar to Post

buy it here (even though it doesn’t come out until Nov. 24)

I do have a soft spot in my heart for indie-electro music. I think it must have all started in the 80s with Electropop and synth bands like Scritti Politti and Howard Jones, The Thompson Twins, and the great David Bowie himself. So I get a little excited when I hear this new stuff like Jogger (with all it’s outlandishness), Max Tundra, Deastro, and this smooth, sleek little record from Logan Lynn, From Pillar to Post.

There’s elements on this record that I’ve heard elsewhere in indie music and even in top 40 dance tracks, of course.  The sound effects are used minimally and to a smart degree; I’m looking for them instead of getting sick of them by the end of the track. Songs like “Prey on the Power” have phrases that stick in my head in a good way. And most of this album is set to a really nice, deep groove that is easy to move to. At my age, I appreciate a slower beat and you, darlings, … you all know a beat like that is simply sexy, no matter how old you are.

What sets Logan Lynn apart from mainstream music, in my mind, is the clarity of his voice and lyrics. He just makes his emo-monotone work. So much of what I hear in clubs and on the radio is focused on the booming bass beat, or on the personality of the artist, to the degree that their vocals are so distorted with attitude that I get sick of hearing them sing. On the contrary, From Pillar to Post is just eight tracks of super cool, indie-electro music with words and thoughts that are introspective and moody and yet you still want to dance. That’s an art!
