We last heard Laura Burhenn’s Mynabirds with the 2012 studio LP Generals and an equally rousing live set at our SXSW show. Now she returns with a record said to be “steeped in break-up themes,” and — per this first glimpse at Lovers Know — she’s left some of the previous palette behind as well. Teaming up this time with producer/Black English frontman Bradley Hanan Carter, Burhenn enlists a kaleidoscopic bed of synths on “Semantics,” a buoyant and undeniably catchy bit of post-romance transcendence. Promising stuff indeed; hear it above.
