With their Sub Pop debut, Structure and Cosmetics, New Zealand natives
The Brunettes see their first release on a US label (previous records
were
released on their homeland’s Lil’ Chief Records). Fronted and
formed by Jonathan Bree (vocals, guitar) and Heather Mansfield (vocals,
keys, glock),
the band was born in 1998 out of a garage-infused
Auckland scene, and they’ve been making breezy, effervescent,
Shangri-Las-reminiscent pop
ever since. Structure and Cosmetics
retains the sweetly charming, sunbeam-drenched sound The Brunettes are
known for as evident in the sha-la-la
chorus of “If You Were Alien,”
but adds a hint of darkness and drama in tracks like “Wall Poster
Star.” Since landing the opening slot for The Shins’
five-week US
tour in 2005, The Brunettes have played shows with fellow pop darlings
Rilo Kiley, The Postal Service and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.
