The Oedipus Project
The Mynabirds are singer/songwriter Laura Burhenn and a collective of musicians based in Omaha.
She is also a member of the Bright Eyes’ touring band.
GENERALS is the name of the 2nd Mynabirds album due on Saddle Creek Records in June.
“Generals” is the cool first single. (Free download here.)
Last year we featured a preview of First Aid Kit’s album The Lion’s Roar.
This is their first American-recorded album and their second full-length since their 2010 debut The Big Black & Blue.
These two Swedish sisters recorded in Omaha with Bright Eyes’ Mike Mogis producing.
“Blue” is the new single.
Beginning in 1998 Bright Eyes was singer/songwriter/guitarist Conor Oberst and a revolving cast of musicians.
Since 2006 the band has settled into the permanent trio of Oberst, Mike Mogis and Nathaniel Walcott, while utilizing the talents of varying contributing musicians from the Omaha music scene.
Prolific and profound, the new Bright Eyes album is entitled The People’s Key.
Two free songs are available from the Saddle Creek website under the “downloads” section.
“Shell Games” is one of them.
