Under the Radar Magazine

Last week The Mynabirds released a limit-edition 7” featuring Laura Burhenn’s latest Generals single “Body of Work.”

In our 2012 Protest Issue, which is on newsstands now, there is an article titled “The Music of Occupy” which examines the role of protest music in the Occupy movement that has been going on for the last year. For the article we talked to Fucked Up’s Damian Abraham, Erika M. Anderson (aka EMA), of Montreal’s Kevin Barnes, The Mynabirds’ Laura Burhenn, Dan Deacon, Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello, and Okkervil River’s Will Sheff about their thoughts on the relationship between Occupy and protest music.

What We Lose in the Fire We Gain in the Flood, the debut album by The Mynabirds (the project of Laura Burhenn after the breakup of her band Georgie James), was a wonderful song cycle of soulful Motown-esque pop R&B. On songs such as “Numbers Don’t Lie” and “What We Gained in the Fire,” Burhenn belted out irresistible melodies backed by a crack band of retro-sounding musicians. GENERALS, however, is, for the most part, nothing like What We Lose in the Fire. (via The Mynabirds: GENERALS (Saddle Creek) | Under The Radar)
