NAV\/ATTACK is the recording project of Alaska-born Los Angeles-based artist Andrew Lynch. Boasting of plentiful experience in the studio, Lynch has worked as an audio engineer with the likes of John Cale (of The Velvet Underground), pop singer Sia, and L.A. punk supergroup Off!. In addition, Lynch has performed live as a member of The Goldberg Sisters, actor Adam Goldberg\u2019s band. So it suffices to say that Lynch is by no means a newbie to the world of recording and playing music. So, what does one expect from an already seasoned studio personnel\/musician on his debut record?<\/p>\n
Lynch is certainly no dorm room laptop musician. However, this debut release of his has the traits and peculiarities of one such dilettante. His lo-fi indie electro sound is far from perfect and has an amateurish DIY quality that is prevalent in so many mediocre indie bands. Nevertheless, only a masterful musician who knows the rules would know how to break them. And this is what Lynch does on this record. Whether it\u2019s the singing, the musicianship, or the production, behind the goofy and callow exterior is actually a pretty fascinating and great album.<\/p>\n
Having studied film and video at the Academy of Art in San Francisco, Lynch stated in an interview with EQView magazine that he enjoyed the European art house cinema classics because \u201cThese films all have an element of \u2018fuck you\u2019 but also manage to be so beautiful to look at.\u201d He echoes a similar sentiment in his music, which is snarky in a surreal way. You don\u2019t know whether he is trying to be funny, serious, ironic, or melancholic \u2013 and he doesn\u2019t care. The point is, it just results in great songs, and that\u2019s all that matters. <\/p>\n
If you just take it easy and go with whatever interpretation comes to your mind of the songs on this album (which is sure to change every time you listen to it), you will have a fantastic time listening. As Lynch further says in his interview, \u201cI don\u2019t like to intrude on anyone\u2019s interpretation of these songs\u2026I hope that doesn\u2019t sound pretentious, but really \u2013 music is for listening!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":32510,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"artist":[9717],"rating":[5617],"class_list":["post-44272","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-nav-attack","rating-rating-b-plus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/44272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/40"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44272"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/44272\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44272"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=44272"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=44272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
