Mynabirds – Generals LP

In place of the Zen meditations found on The Mynabirds first album,GENERALSis 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.

GENERALSis both a protest record and concept album. Its fueled by a full decade of Burhenns political frustration and aimed at finding a revolutionary yet pacifist way in a world where, these days, it seems warring comes quick. Lyrically,GENERALSsings the voice of the collective frustration, then moves beyond that.

The albums name comes from a Richard Avedon photo entitled Generals of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The lineage of women that have stood up to injustice for well over a hundred years, women like Sojourner Truth, Rosa Parks, Gloria Steinem, Naomi Wolf, they get their hands dirty. And Burhenn wanted to pay tribute to that.
