The Mynabirds are coming to Soho in Santa Barbara on March 11th in advance of the release of their sophomore album Generals on June 5th on Saddle Creek.  The band’s 2010′s debut, What We Lose in the Fire We Gain in the Flood, appeared in our Best Albums of 2010 list.  Since then lead singer-songwriter Laura Burhenn has been busy as a member of Bright Eyes’ touring band.  On the new album, Burhenn has again teamed up with winningly ascendant producer Richard Swift.  We’re advised that Generals is “filled with armies of stomps and claps, sweeping full spectrum orchestrations, and moments that range from intensely personal pleas to shout-out-loud protests with teeth.”  You can download and check out the propulsive title track below.  It’s a rocker with a vengeance.  Get your black boots and war paint on and head down to Soho on March 11th (tickets over at Club Mercy) to see the band, along with Portland’s Y La Bamba (stream their compelling new Steve Berlin-produced album, Court the Storm, below), and fellow Saddle Creek artist, Big Harp.
