Rock and Roll City is out now on Kill Rock Stars! Give it a spin at www.LoganLynn.gay

This song was written and recorded originally as part of the Distracted sessions at Burn Money Studios in Portland with me and Yellow Trash Can but in the end we decided it didn’t fit with the rest of the tracks on the EP, so we cut it. Everybody on the team and at the label still liked this one a lot so we decided to release it on its own. Anyway, here she blows.

Lyrically, Rock and Roll City is about wanting something superficial as a way of avoiding intimacy in relationships. For all the beauty and sex and glitz that comes with making music or chasing fame, it feels empty if you don’t have real shit around to balance it out.

The release of this single also marks the official end of my Gucci era. Thank you again to Alessandro Michele for dressing me for the last 8 years and for including me during his tenure at #Gucci. We had an incredible run and I will always be grateful for the opportunities his vision — and the Gucci brand — brought my way over the past decade of working together.

I’ve started collaborating with a new designer and fashion house for my looks on tour this fall, as well as for the next album and music videos coming next year. Stay tuned for more on that very soon, but in the meantime…

LET’S DANCE.

The Distracted era is officially here!

PRE-ORDER THE EP

From Kill Rock Stars + Terrorbird:

Following Logan Lynn’s 2021 Kill Rock Stars debut full-length album, New Money, he has linked up with Portland and Los Angeles-based production duo Yellow Trash Can on a 5 song EP titled Distracted.

Yellow Trash Can connected with Logan Lynn after reaching out to collaborate on a single track. The team clicked, began writing together, and that one song turned into the Distracted EP over the course of the summer of 2022.

“I really loved working with Yellow Trash Can on this project. Their studio in Portland has all kinds of talent coming through it and it has been really cool to be in the mix there. These songs came together very naturally and we had so much fun making this thing,” said Logan Lynn. “I ended up writing a bunch of songs about getting into a new relationship with a beautiful man who I absolutely adore, after many years of flying solo. It’s a really cute, happy time in my life and that comes through in the music, I think.”

The Distracted EP has a strong feeling of nostalgia, especially on songs like Loud and Clear, Distracted and I Got A Man, but with a modern spin that feels new and innovative. It’s a blend of backgrounds and individual influences all coming together to create a unique feeling of home.

“Making this EP was so gosh darn fun. Logan’s a GOOF! WE ARE GOOFS!” Yellow Trash Can’s Jason Navarrete continued, “What a wonderful summer project it turned out to be. Every song had minimal roadblocks to completion, which is truly rare. Oddly enough, Distracted was the first song we started and the last one to be complete.

Musical influences on the YTC production side include N.E.R.D, Gorillaz, Modest Mouse, The Smiths, The Cure and others — with Logan Lynn’s influences ranging from 80s pop to 90s alternative and old school techno.

Yellow Trash Can has worked with quite an arsenal of artists and producers. In 2022 they released more than 60 tracks that they produced and/ or wrote on. They landed a song in FIFA23 that they produced for Baby Tate called PEDI. They have worked with Blocboy JB, ILoveMakonnen, Matt Ox, Myke Bogan, NOVA, OnCue, Briana Piedra, Kill Nigel, BRYYCE, Hushdegod, and many others.

In addition to the Distracted EP collaboration with Logan Lynn, Yellow Trash Can has an album coming out with Drake protégé ILoveMakonnen for 2023, titled Everything Is Fake. They also have EPs releasing in 2023 with Kill Nigel, Myke Bogan, BATHLETE, Blake Yung, and an array of singles with too many artists to count.

Logan Lynn is currently in the studio working on his follow-up full length album for Kill Rock Stars, due out in 2024.
