Loneliest Generation is the debut record from Harper Blynn, a Brooklyn, NY-based four piece named for its two principle songwriters, Pete Harper and J.Blynn. Produced by David Kahne (The Strokes, Regina Spektor, Paul McCartney). The album was recorded over 10 days in New York City. Featuring drummer Sarab Singh and a Dutch bass player who goes by the name “Whynot,” the group’s seemingly effortless four-part harmonies and dead-on live shows have a confidence and rock-solid feel that’s impressive for a band releasing their debut.
Both Harper and Blynn play guitar, with Harper switching off on keyboards on some numbers, such as soulful “Centrifugal Motion” and “Steal Your Love.”
National Tour dates will be announced shortly. In the meantime, check out these new live tracks from the band recorded recently at The Gothamist House:
