New Music From The Brunettes
The Brunettes give HEAVE 'The Crime Machine.'
New Zealand's The Brunettes carry on the fine tradition of Kiwi-Twee (The Clean, The Ruby Suns) with their latest album, Paper Dolls. "The Crime Machine" is a snappy happy inoffensive song longing for the glamour and danger 1920's American lawlessness. Singer Heather Mansfield's nasal cuteness recalls the nasal cuteness of Patty Donahue from The Waitresses ("I Know What Boys Like"). Who doesn't love that? Plus, you can never turn down the sophisticated pop stylings brought forth by a vintage Casiotone.
So, if you're not interested in spending 22 hours on an airplane to experience the celestial beauty of New Zealand first hand, just let the Brunettes be your personal tour guides while you space out in your head phones.
Paper Dolls will be available early next year via Sub Pop.
