Release Notes:
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 homelandÆs LilÆ 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 theyÆve 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 ôIf
You Were Alien,ö but adds a hint of darkness and
drama in tracks like ôWall Poster Star.ö Since
landing the opening slot for The ShinsÆ 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. With the release of
the new record, theyÆre coming back for more US
touring, to steal our hearts and prove that blondes
donÆt have more fun!
