I saw The Brunettes open for The Shins last year. It turns out the Shins were rather disappointing live, but it was entirely worth going to have been introduced to this group. I fell in love with their music, and bought both of their albums and both of their EPs that night. Of their four releases, this is definitely the strongest. Musically, it's fascinating, doing bubblegum pop in bizarre and captivating new ways. And the lyrics are charming - they sing about love with a refreshingly naive honesty - they're saying the things that we all would like to say, if we weren't so self-conscious.

I first saw this band live opening for Rilo Kiley recently and they matched well together. The best way to describe their music is that they have kind of a mid-sixties surf pop sound about them with nice harmonies and a good sense of humour. This particular album highlights that perfectly. The group tosses out a wide variety of sound meshing with simple peppy lyrics with the energy of the Ramones. You put this on at a party and people will be dancing all over your living room and kitchen and kind of humming along thinking it feels familiar.

To give you an idea of their own tastes one of the guitar player's (Jonathan) favorite songs is "Crimson and Clover". You immediately get what their influences are. You think of "Pet Sounds", maybe Phil Spector (pre Wall of Sound) and a bit of David Bowie.

Yet they make it all their own.

Definitely something to listen to on a bright sunny day.
