Via Saddle Creek Today 
  
 
  
Band Plays Santa Monica Pier 8/20;
US Tour Kicks Off 9/2 

“a collection of jewels, bright and eclectic... writ larger than anything else Burhenn has done with The Mynabirds.” - NPR

“...the most wonderful independently released all-caps POP album of the year.”
– Drowned In Sound (July 2015)

 “Burhenn’s most honest and personal statement yet." – Consequence of Sound

“Lovers Know heralds the return of a vital yet criminally unfamiliar artist.”
– The Line of Best Fit 
  
The Mynabirds third full-length album,  Lovers Know, is out today via Saddle Creek. Having premiered on NPR Music, the record is now available to purchase via the label’s website and iTunes. The band will be hitting the road next month in support of the release and a full list of tour dates are available below and on The Mynabirds’ official website. 
  
Led by Laura Burhenn and produced by Bradley Hanan Carter of Black English, the album explores influences of 80s, 90s, and futuristic soundscapes, while recalling Kate Bush, Sinead O’Connor, Jesus and Mary Chain, and My Bloody Valentine. The result is arguably one of Burhenn’s most personal and confessional works to date, yet also her most accessible, delving deep into universal themes of love, loss, and seeking connection. The first two singles from the album are “ Semantics” and “ Wildfire” which are now available to hear and share on  YouTube. 

“Love – or the lack of it – is the thing we all have in common,” notes Burhenn about the themes weaving together the new album. “It can destroy us. It can break us open and let the light in. And it’s also the thing that can make us sing.”
