"Led by founding duo Jonathan Bree and Heather Mansfield, the Auckland-based group first brought their Beach Boys- and Phil Spector-influenced songs to the U.S. in support of the Shins in 2005, and return trips have followed with Rilo Kiley and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. The Brunettes' Sub Pop debut, Structure & Cosmetics, downplays the sugary sweetness of its predecessors. It's also one of the year's more accomplished, sonically detailed works of baroque pop."
