Portland-based songwriter, producer, filmmaker, and more, Logan Lynn is releasing his album New Money this Friday, January 21st, via Kill Rock Stars. His latest single from the album asks “Is There Anyone Else Like This In The World?” in Electro-Pop style. The song embraces “life carrying on in the face of suffering, navigating pandemic isolation and loneliness, and finding joy amidst all of the seemingly endless existential danger of the past few years”. The accompanying video contains a “nod to Logan’s roots in the early 90’s rave scene, his previous struggles with addiction, and the madness of queer adulthood”.
Logan Lynn explains:
I’ve spent too much time with myself since Covid hit, but I actually think some of the loneliest times of my life were when I was surrounded by a ton of people. I spent many years feeling like a freak as a kid, and I was the only visibly gay person for miles at times growing up, so I’ve asked the universe that question a lot. I do not think that this is a unique experience. I believe we all feel this way at times, if not always a little. It’s part of being human, and it’s for sure part of being queer. Freak pride! Let’s dance. Oh, and let’s eat.
Returning to his Electro-Pop roots after collaborations with Tiffany, The Dandy Warhols and Styrofoam, Logan’s New Money is his 10th studio album, but first for Kill Rock Stars. Produced in collaboration with longtime co-writer Gino Mari and written at home over the course of 2020, the album includes two tributes to his all-time musical heroes Liz Phair and Elliott Smith.
