Today's Quick Mention: Yikes. I honestly don't think I even
assumed that Vampire Weekend could manage to sell 124,000 copies of
anything in a single week. Or ever, actually. Feel free to
enlighten me on exactly what I'm missing when it comes to this band.
A couple of years back a duo by the name of Georgie James put out a
fantastic retro pop record, and then promptly broke up. Now, the lady half
of the band, Laura Burhenn has moved on and started a solo project that I'm hoping will stick around
a bit longer than GJ did. Look
for The Mynabirds' What We Let Lose In The Fire We Gain In The Flood on Saddle
Creek in late April. Enjoy.
:The
Mynabirds - Numbers Don't Lie:
"Baby/If you want to be right/I will let you be right"
Despite being easily tagged with the words retro and pop, I
have to say that this isn't really anything like Georgie
James. In fact, it feels and sounds like a modern soul
track, which is a fairly surprising turn of events.
This one will be sticking with me (and probably you) for a
while.
