‘If pop hooks were Monopoly money, this foursome would be buying hotels on Park Place by now.’
-Time Out New York


'As far as follow-up albums go, they can't get much better than this. (...) When it comes to first-rate musicianship, Harper Blynn are at the top of the heap. (...] Making a sophomore album is never easy and in just 13 songs Harper Blynn make it appear effortless. Rather than succumbing to the pressure or their own expectations, the quartet set out to make the best record they could, and Busy Hands is exactly that. With songs this good and albums this strong, the sky is indeed the limit for this Brooklyn group.'

-Absolutepunk


‘Seems like it’s only gotten harder to tell where Harper Blynn are coming from. In the past, you could pretty easily pin them to the Brooklyn indie world, but their new Busy Hands sounds more all over the map—and that’s a very good thing. If this collection of new tunes is any hint, there’s no telling where you’ll end up. But it’ll be a hell of a trip.’

-Philadelphia Weekly


'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 quintet, but with a kinder view of the world, answering The Strokes’ cynical 'Is This It' with the can-do 'This Is It.''

-Paste Magazine


'Loneliest Generation is chock full of eminently singable melodies couched in four-part harmonies and lyrics that set mid-twenties angst in a hopeful context. But what really separates HB from their peers is the way the band locks into the songs like… well, a band. (...) The arrangements here are muscular and fully formed. (...) Throughout, the album stays relatively close to HB’s live presentation of guitar, bass, drums and keyboard, and superstar producer David Kahne wisely allows the band’s collective brio to shine through the effort.'

-American Songwriter


'Harper Blynn bring a prickly sense of depth to their self titled EP, a likeable familiarity married with a penchant for heart-coated sleeves. (...) Four part harmonies are not to be underrated in today's popscape, and Harper Blynn keeps this skill in heavy rotation. Ballads like "Start All Over" feel that much more epic with choruses that span octaves. (...) Their New York City roots and club presence give them street cred, but the production, polish and poise of their tunes suggest a larger story arc is in the works.'

-Baeble


'On their debut record Loneliest Generation, Harper Blynn takes a giant step beyond their contemporaries, and moves into a category all their own... In a crowded Brooklyn indie scene hell-bent on placing vanity above content and substance, Harper Blynn offer up simple, no-frills songcraft with an unassuming modesty and a self-confidence that is refreshing, invigorating and downright hypnotic.'

-Absolutepunk


‘Harper Blynn sounds like you're on acid, in a helicopter flying upside down and backwards, and you're with the guy who plays Yul Brenner in Cool Runnings.’
