What We Lose in the Fire We Gain in the Flood is pretty fantastic. I haven't heard anything else, yet.

Re: The Mynabirds
I figured it was time I listened to the whole of 'Generals', so I did, on the train the other week.
I found it brilliant. More eclectic and varied in sound than I'd normally listen to, probably, but with more and more listens since I'm realising that that's this band's talent. Variety of style and influence.

Re: The Mynabirds
I love Generals but I think I like 'What we lose in the fire...' a little bit more.

Re: The Mynabirds
I go back and forth. For a while I was all Generals (even though I adore the first one). After a while something shifted. I listen to What We Lose... more often now. But I don't know that I'll ever be able to pick between the two. I genuinely love every song on both. Which is reason number one that they are one of my favorite bands.verb_to_trust wrote:I love Generals but I think I like 'What we lose in the fire...' a little bit more.

Re: The Mynabirds
I only have the one album on my MP3 player. If anybody has another going spare *cough*

Re: The Mynabirds
I think you'd really enjoy it as these guys's first record reminded me of that feel quite a bit. Plus it's got Son of a Preacher Man.durdencommatyler wrote:I have not, no.

Re: The Mynabirds
I'm trying to convert Sarah Harmless to The Mynabirds and it seems to be working.
