The Mynabirds (http://www.themynabirds.com/), a West Coast tour of Laura Burhenn stripping down her songs back the bare bones and fleshing them out with strings and other organic instrumentation.

“Lovers Know sounds like a collection of jewels, bright and eclectic… [and] writ larger than anything else Burhenn has done with The Mynabirds.” – NPR

“…songs so elegantly composed that many could pass for old standards… Burhenn is as heartbreaking and tuneful as her finest inspirations while investing her songs with a calm fatalism that sets her apart.” –Pitchfork

Lovers Know, The Mynabirds’ third album (released August 4, 2015 on Saddle Creek), was recorded over a yearlong period in Los Angeles, Joshua Tree, Nashville, and Auckland, New Zealand. It’s definitely new territory for Burhenn, forging into 80s, 90s and futuristic soundscapes, recalling Kate Bush, Sinead O’Connor, The Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine and even 90s hip hop and R&B. The album may be loaded with a fresh palette of new sounds (swarms of synths, gauzy electric guitars, and electronic drums), but her brooding, unmistakable voice leads the way.
