"Yeah I'm loopy loopy loopy over a love"

Sometimes you hear a band and you enjoy their music, but you kind of forget about them afterwards. This was the case with The Brunettes. I saw them open for Rilo Kiley back in 2005, and thoroughly enjoyed their show, but never followed up on procuring their music afterwards. I finally went on a sampling spree after reading an article about them and picked up their new album, Structures and Cosmetics, plus a few songs from their earlier albums. The New Zealand indie pop band, consisting of Jonathan Bree and Heather Mansfield, have been performing together since 1998. Pick up their latest, it's a damn fine time.
