Praise for Harper Blynn's Loneliest Generation:
=20
"Stunning for its precision, effortlessness and timelessness, Loneliest =
Generation is an intimate, well-worn and enchantingly familiar =
collection of 10 near-flawless roots-rock gems." - Absolute Punk
=20
'It may seem like Brooklyn bands pop up at the rate in which babies are =
born in the US (one every seven seconds, according to the Census =
Bureau), but every once in a while one of them is worth getting excited =
about. Harper Blynn's solid, giddy power pop is paired with glorious =
harmonies and a timeless sound, which is augmented by their incredible =
live show." -Gothamist=20
=20
"Loneliest Generation was produced by David Kahne, who also helmed the =
Strokes' First Impressions of Earth. Harper Blynn is just as catchy as =
that notorious garage rock quintet, but with a kinder view of the =
world." - PASTE MAGAZINE=20
=20
Alternating between acoustic ballads and upbeat rock anthems, this =
hopeful 10-track collection provides a varying yet cohesive listen, =
combining alt-country, rock and folk melodies." -CMJ
