WXPN Free-At-Noon concert 7/9 Lilith and more US tour dates coming “My new favorite song of all time!”-Jason Bentley/KCRW This Harper Blynn review Absolute-ly nails it “To understand the Brooklyn quintet Harper Blynn, one needs to start with the band’s inner circle. The album was produced by David Kahne (Paul McCartney, The Strokes, Regina Spektor) and Malcolm Burn (Emmylou Harris, Chris Whitley, Kaki King) and appears on Baby Jackal Records, a label co-founded by the band and Arthur Mann, co-founded Rykodisc. But maintaining ties with movers and shakers can really only do so much. In the end, the gravitas and originality of the music itself is where bands can really distance themselves from their peers. And on their debut record Loneliest Genera- tion, Harper Blynn takes a giant step beyond their contemporaries, and moves into a category all their own. Inspired by the harmonizing of vocalists Harper and Blynn, the band calls to mind a 21st century Simon and Garfunkel and crafts melodies that would even make The Beatles blush. Stunning for its precision, ef- fortlessness and timelessness, Loneliest Generation is intimate, well-worn and enchantingly familiar collection of 10 near-flawless roots-rock gems. Album opener “25 Years,” is sweetly affecting, jangly and cradled in J. Blynn’s impassioned crooning. There’s a quintessential bounce to each passing second that screams superi- ority. It’s repeated on the crackling first single, “This Is It,” and never lets up until the disc’s final second. From the tender ballad “All the Noise,” to the country strut of “Luck Struck Kitty,” there’s a potency and a contagion that seems to emanate from the speakers. Other triumphant moments include “Steal Your Love,” a groove-based jam, guided by a slinky guitar line and Blynn’s winning vocals; “The Doubt,” is an aching ballad accentuated by falsetto, hushed acoustics and copious amounts of brushes. “All Pretend- ers,” and “It May Be Late,” however stake their claim as the album’s apex, with the former leaving it all on the table and throwing out all that’s great about the band ––– deft piano, resplendent harmonies, air-tight rhythm section, crystalline production ––– and the latter feeding off a stunning piano line. Loneliest Generation is is perfectly executed folk-pop that’s thoughtful, finely tuned and without flaw. The quartet is unabashedly cohesive, hopeful and brimming with potential. Fueled by ruminative declarations such as “We’re not just hippie kids or disco queens in plaid, that’s all over now, if every chance I take is one you never had, then how can I expect you to understand anyhow?” this is a deeply probing work that offers the viewpoints of a quarter-life lived, hoped for and wished for. In the end, what’s prob- ably most refreshing about the quartet is that in a crowded Brooklyn indie scene hell-bent on placing vanity above content and substance, Harper Blynn offer up simple, no-frills songcraft with an unassuming modesty and a self-confidence that is refreshing, invigorating and downright hypnotic.
