Lynx Deluxe

"Queen Anne's Lace" arriving shortly Lynx Deluxe renders “The Great American Bubble Factory” even more precarious than the original, pushing the narrative forward by expanding upon Kinney’s lyrics in deeply personal ways.Chad Radford https://radatl.com/2023/12/08/lynx-deluxe-bubble/ The band's first EP, "Jungleland," was released in 2021 and shortly thereafter, Lynx Deluxe's debut performance was at Atlanta's Coca-Cola Roxy supporting Drivin N Cryin.

Billy Fields Atl,Ga ,Follow for Now, WaitingforUFO’s, Yes, that Billy.(Keys,Arp,Nord)”I just got tired of loud rock guitars and rock egos and that whole mentality, so I just wanted to do something completely different.” Well said ,Billy. “The songs are open-hearted , complete, and flourishing with redemptive fodder for the imagination that’s mysteriously timeless.” -Chad Radford (Radatl.com) " It’s a record that dismisses genre concerns, favoring cinematic sweeps, punk rock exotica, and elastic bass lines over a reliable boiler plate." -Charlie Farmer (Creative Loafing) “Here's something different" "The songs themselves are hooky rockers, and jungle sounds figure into the mix, providing a sort of conceptual connective tissue.” -Bill Kopp (Musoscribe) "These days, the former Nightporters frontman finds miracles in the minor, emboldened by a newfound sense of clarity and a rekindled fire for music. Rather than deal in reunions or revisionist history, Browne has chosen to write an entirely new story.” -Charlie Farmer (Sound and Soul Online) “With his muse and partner, bassist Lucy Theodora, Browne has divined a new round of songs that draw from his English roots and the raw power of his early career.” -Aaron Irons (Macon,Ga) “The eleven tracks are all damned good and there is no filler on the album at all. It has anger, love, spirit, passion, and hope in every note, riff, and groove.” -Bill Adamson (York, England) “The debut from this Atlanta outfit led by ex-Nightporter Andy Browne rocks and roils with a King Kong backbeat and calculated songs.” — Aaron Irons, Sound and Soul ​“This band sure cannot be pigeonholed into one genre, they do it all and throw it all together to make a great unique sound!” -Andrew Goodwin (Warrington, England)
