Loneliest Generation is the debut record from New York's Harper Blynn, a four-piece named for its two principle songwriters and vocalists, Pete Harper and J.Blynn. A stunning first album that presents a young band with a timeless sound that melds dead-on, glorious four-part harmonies with a finely honed sense of songcraft. It's an album about something, as the title suggests. Both aged 25, Harper and Blynn's songs are from the point of view of a post-jaded gerneration, a generation that is looking to find something worth believing in. Unapologetically hopeful! Unafraid to challenge detachment and disillusionment! Proving it's possible to be both modern and timeless and prompting The Chicagoist to write that Harper Blynn's 'brand of polished, thoughtful pop will never go out of style.' Harper Blynn has spent the past couple of years touring nationally, nurturing a strong online presence and building a loyal and rabid fanbase.
Review
Despite their Brooklyn address and hipster credentials, there's nothing remotely indie rock about the band-the harmonies recall Simon & Garfunkel, and the melodies would make Elvis Costello proud. --Paste Magazine #1 Best Band We Discovered at CMJ
After a great show at the CMJ Festival this fall, hometown band Harper Blynn is ready to impress the rest of America. --New York Post 'Ready to Pop: Six Promising Acts to Watch in 2010'
They fulfill all of your hipstery band-approval needs...but they never come across as trying to prove that they belong in the fickle world of indie rock. They don't have to, chiefly because their brand of polished, thoughtful pop will never go out of style. --Chicagoist

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
This album is incredible. This is one of the best albums of 2010. Their harmonies and great indie rock make it an instant classic for anyone who likes The Beatles, Coldplay, or artists of the like. If you like bands with great vocals and great harmonies, then this is a must buy for you.

Just revisited the album. It's really really great music. High End Melody is truly transcendent. So sad that these boys aren't touring and producing more of their trademark sound. Where has all the brilliant music gone? Please come back. We miss you!
This is my new favorite band. Happened to see them as an opening act for Carey Brothers and downloaded their album during their set. They do an amazing cover of Beyonce's Halo. Great song writing, great harmonizing and great live performers. This album is addictive from beginning to end. Give 'em a try. I dare you to try and listen just once.
