The Mynabirds

The Mynabirds, the brainchild of singer-songwriter Laura Burhenn, are a soul-infused indie rock project known for blending lush melodies with sharp social commentary. Formed in 2010 after Burhenn’s earlier work in the duo Georgie James, the band quickly carved out a space with their debut *What We Lose in the Fire We Gain in the Flood*, channeling vintage Americana and Motown vibes. Over the years, their sound has evolved to include synth-pop and experimental textures, as heard in albums like *Lovers Know* (2015) and *BE HERE NOW* (2020). Burhenn’s powerhouse vocals and introspective lyrics often tackle themes of love, resilience, and activism—evident in tracks like the politically charged "Disarm (Ceasefire Now)" and the haunting "Bad Moon Rising."

With releases like *GENERALS: REMIXED* and the *Polyvinyl 4-Track Singles Series, Vol. 1*, The Mynabirds embrace collaboration and reinvention, keeping their work fresh and sonically adventurous. Burhenn’s artistry extends beyond music, often intertwining with her advocacy for social justice, which fuels the urgency in their later work. Whether through raw, stripped-down ballads or bold, anthemic grooves, The Mynabirds remain a dynamic force in indie music, consistently pushing boundaries while staying rooted in emotional honesty.
