'The Mynabirds' are a musical project led by former 'Bright Eyes' touring member Laura Burhenn. 'Generals' is their second album and it's name comes from a photo with the title "Generals of the Daughters of the American Revolution" by Richard Avedon. And that kind of sums up the concept of the album. It is part protest, part political and definitely pays tribute to the women who stood up against their oppression. The title track "Generals" is a melting pot of genres - 80's retro, blues, indie rock - to name a few. With lyrics such as... “Callin’ all my generals, my daughters, my revolutionists” you get a clear idea about the theme of the album, as mentioned earlier. This would've been the perfect song to be posted on Women's Suffrage Day (19th September)... only a few days late.
