Synopsis

Product Description

Following the demise of Georgie James, Laura Burhenn (half of the former DC duo) gathered her favorite books, records, and people around her and wrote what would become the first album from her new band. Recorded in the rugged hills of Oregon in the summer of 2009 with producer Richard Swift at the helm, What We Lose in the Fire We Gain in the Flood tells the story of loss and recovery, the music nodding to gospel and garage, the lyrics following a Zen trajectory. "I wanted to make a record that felt like Neil Young doing Motown," Laura says, "something simple and strong, old and new at once."

(4 out of 5 stars)

"What We Lose in the Fire We Gain in the Flood is an album credited to the Mynabirds but really is nothing more than pseudonym for the talented singer Laura Burhenn. Ms. Burhenn has crafted a deep and rich sounding album that bounces between light and dark moods. The album's opening "What We Gained in the Fire" has a slow, driving dirge like sound which is followed up by the pounding thump of "Let The Records Go". "Numbers Don't Lie" recalls early Carole King with its catchy piano riff while "We Made A Mountain" evokes Dusty Springfield with its Memphis style horns. "LA Rain" and "Wash It Out" are both immensely catchy and wouldn't have sounded out of place on an AM radio station in the mid 70's. The album misses in a couple of place like the mopey "Give It Time" and "Right Place", but they are just minor bumps on an overall strong album."
