Mars Loves Venus

VINYL FORMAT. Originally released on CD in 2004 via New Zealand's Lil' Chief Records, Mars Loves Venus is The Brunettes' second full length release and the one that spring-boarded their eventual signing to Sub Pop Records. It was after their signing to Sub Pop that most folks first discovered them as they toured with The Shins and Rilo Kiley, among others. The band's line up for Mars Loves Venus featured the dual vocals and multi-instrumental skills of Jonathan Bree and Heather Mansfield, James Milne (Laurence Arabia) on guitar and other instruments, and Ruby Suns front man Ryan McPhun on drums and backing vocals.

Mars Loves Venus is a super quirky, super cute and oddly sensual record. If you're a fan you know what we're talking about. If you're not, think She & Him, Mates of State or even Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazelwood. If you're like us and can't get enough of sugary boy/girl conversation style vocals, this is a time to be excited!

In addition to being released on vinyl for the first time, this edition also features new back artwork, which is the full, un-cropped, version of the cover.
