What you said about their live work for Generals is exactly the reaction my friends had after seeing them. Everyone was most impressed with their precision and meticulousness in creating their sound.

The girl singing the high harmony is kind of their secret weapon--it's crafty of them to ensure that that detail gets reproduced in a live setting.

That's Rebecca Miller and she damn near stole the show. She does a lot more than just sing back up vocals, she'll bang on various percussion instruments and play loop machines or some shit too.

She has a solo album in the works.

Loop machines really play to my rhythmic sensibilities.

I hope I get to see them at a tiny venue again so I can get real close to the stage and watch what she's doing the whole time.

Every time that I drive by Rudyard's (which is damn near every day), I kick myself for not seeing them.

I feel like there was a good reason, but I don't remember what it was. I probably could have interviewed her for CultureMap if I had tried. She seems pretty open to that sort of promotional thing.

I would have been so jealous.

That's the reason that I didn't go or try to do that, now that I think about it.

Remember the time I picked up that Mynah Birds reissue for Record Store Day last year because I thought that was the band you were always talking about?

It was still a good purchase, but at that point it didn't get me any closer to hearing Laura Burhenn sing.

6/10

The first "this is what you get" section and that cricial "I lost myself" part are where she shines. The rest sort of seems like a good, if not particularly original cover of the song. I've always thought the studio version of Karma Police is far and away the definitive version, though, so I may be a bit biased.

Also inferior to the original version, but good for a late night, drunken listen:



The last third of the song takes on it's own mood, and I really like that part. Still, this remix goes a different direction than the original song, and I'm not too sure it's the right direction for a song as pure as this one. The original has always reminded me of what a waltz with Laura Palmer inside the Black Lodge would be like.
