The Mynabirds have announced a new album, Lovers Know, which hits streets on August 7 via Saddle Creek.

Led by Laura Burhenn and produced by Bradley Hanan Carter of Black English, the album was recorded internationally over a yearlong period and forges into previously unexplored territory.  Exploring influences of 80s, 90s, and futuristic soundscapes, the record recalls 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.
Lovers Know is loaded with a fresh palette of new sounds — radiating synths, gauzy electric guitars, and electronic drums – but Burhenn’s brooding, unmistakable voice still leads the way.  Often depicted on the album are the universal themes of love, loss, and seeking connection.  “Love – or the lack of it – is the thing we all have in common.  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,” says Burhenn.
