If you think that 60s female vocal groups perfected the pop song, than listen to Mynabirds.
THE MYNABIRDS - NUMBERS DON'T LIE
The Mynabirds is vocalist Laura Burhenn who brings a soft nostalgic pop soul styling recorded in spot-on lo-fi fashion for "Numbers Don't Lie." This R&B revivalist elicits such authenticity that it is almost hard to believe the single was recorded in the Summer of 2009. I am curious to see what else Burhenn has to offer because "Numbers Don't Lie" sets a high expection for the album What We Lose in the Fire We Gain in the War due out on on April 27.
She notes on her facebook page :
The album features some notable guests. Orenda Fink (Azure Ray, O+S) and musician/engineer/producer AJ Mogis (Criteria, Monsters of Folk, Tilly and the Wall) lent their voices; Tom Hnatow (These United States) played pedal steel; and Nate Walcott (Bright Eyes) arranged the horns that underscore The Mynabirds' tight, soul-soaked sound.
Another reason to eagerly await Spring for the SXSW performance.
SXSW,
The Mynabirds
