Generals by The Mynabirds

Released:  June 5, 2012
Rating:  72.00
Genre:  Indie Folk

I don't know that I buy the "folk" part of the genre.  I actually hear a lot of Kills-style punk-blues.  In fact, like the Kills, this is a duo featuring a female lead vocalist (Laura Burhenn) and a male guitarist (Richard Swift) though they both also provide percussion and synthesizers.

With a comparison to the Kills, it's no wonder I love this album.  It doesn't have the stellar standouts of the last two Kills album, but it also doesn't have a throw-away in the 10 song set.

Check out the official videos for the hard driving title track, Generals, or the retro-chic Disarm.

(By the way, this is the sophomore release for the D.C. based band)
