Myna birds are know as mimics, but it would unfair to call the debut record from The Mynabirds, What We Lose in the Fire We Gain in the Flood, anything but original. You may hear echos of Dusty Springfield or Cat Power, but Laura Burhenn has put together something fresh and original with her new band The Mynabirds. A veteran of the Washington DC music scene, this is the third or forth incarnation for Burhenn, and her best to date. This record is winning critical praise across the board due to it's easily likable melodies and Burhenn's strong vocals. Her sound ranges from New Orleans jazz to gospel to danceable pop. This is the best record of 2010 so far and well worth a listen.
