Logan Lynn will release his brand new studio album SOFTCORE on June 7 via Kill Rock Stars. Announced to acclaim spanning Punknews.org, GLAAD, Ghettoblaster Magazine and support from Apple Music “New In Indie” and TIDAL “Folkified Favorites”, the new collection infuses his old fashioned belief in monogamous love and self-tenderness with his exuberant, playful and in-your-face brand of synth-laced queer indie punk. While the aching Bill Callahan cover “To Be Of Use” represents the album’s quietest moment, new album single I’m Just A Hole, Sir represents Logan’s harder side and could almost serve as the record’s sexual core. Arriving today alongside an official video, the track kicks off with a thundering drum machine and a springy, breakneck bassline, until Logan’s vocals pierce through the fray, reclaiming his damaged sexuality one dom at a time.


Logan explains, “This song is a farewell to love and a hello to whatever the opposite of love is. It’s about sex and desire at its core and who we are when everything else gets peeled away. This is a revenge track about anger, rage, and freedom — but also very horny. It’s about letting myself go in whatever direction the wind takes me, then burning it all down as I go. I love a trauma response, and, you know, why not make it a horny one, as a treat?”

Like many gifted musicians, Logan has always used his songwriting as a way to cope with the ups-and-downs of life. Growing up in a fundamentalist Christian community that “hated gay people and only sang a cappella” the album is brimming with commanding, danceable sex positivity. With a title like SOFTCORE, you might assume that Logan is going straight for sexuality, but it's about so much more than that. It’s about how warmth can make way for strength, how going through one of the hardest experiences of your life doesn’t have to make you hard. “‘SOFTCORE’ is not about pornography,” says Logan. “In the midst of this stuff that hardens us up as people, things that have historically sent me spiraling or sent me out to be in solitude, I want to stay soft, I want to stay open and sexy.”


SOFTCORE is self-described as “equal parts ‘FUCK YOU!’ and ‘LET’S FUCK.’” The record sounds like that: it sounds positive. It sounds pissed. It sounds horny. But in the end, it resolves in a way that feels genuinely hopeful. Like Logan’s life has.
