About Regrets & Brunettes
Regrets & Brunettes are Richard Bivens (vocals/guitar/keys), Robert Pavlovich (bass), Dylan Kato (drums), and Anthony Chu (lead guitar). Bivens, Pavlovich, and Kato are all native to Southern California while Chu is an East Coast transplant by way of Philadelphia. The congenital California faction of the group has played together in different incarnations for the past five years, most notably as members of Richard Bivens & Foreign Press. RBFP released Absolute Beginners in 2006, informed by the darker back catalogues of The Stones, Neil Young and Randy Newman. With Bivens’ acerbic and confrontational lyrics, the album provoked the listener to decide whether his tongue was actually planted firmly in cheek. In concert, the band compounded confusion with the fact that Bivens played a right-handed guitar left-handed (no re-stringing, mind you). The group dismissed any notions of gimmickry with intense live shows that scored the outfit a residency at Detroit Bar, opening gigs for Delta Spirit and Henry Clay People and a 2007 Orange County Music Award nomination for Best Live Act. After a brief hiatus, Chu was added to the lineup in the Spring of 2008, bringing with him a strong sense of melody and songwriting acumen honed in his previous band The Switch (Kickstart/Creep Records). Rechristened Regrets & Brunettes, the quartet soon began recording in the comforts of their home studio and, alongside Chu’s stylistic and technical innovations, came a marked departure in sound. Debut album "At Night You Love Me" is comprised of 11 songs that are rather disparate and, in theory, shouldn’t flow together. But do they ever. The dream-like opening of leadoff track “Post Punk” gives way to Crazy Horse-esque crunch and clever word play that references everything from suicide to Eric B. and Rakim while still leaving the listener to guess just what the song is about. Topped with its surprise chant along chorus, you’ll wonder how they squeezed it all into two-and-a-half minutes. Lead single “Tough Love” is littered with infectious hook after infectious hook, while barnburner “Infidels” shows off a seamless rhythm section and a guttural bass line that bobs and grooves until the song’s climatic finish. The band nods to Paul Westerberg on “It’s Difficult” while traces of Alex Chilton, Johnny Marr, Elvis Costello, XTC and Squeeze are sprinkled throughout the LP’s other standout tracks. The lyrics are pointed at times, but the edges are softened by reflections of genuine trials in love and loss. World weary and sincere, and packed full of intelligent pop gems in which layers are revealed upon each listen, At Night You Love Me isn’t prefabricated or easily classifiable. Instantly familiar yet utterly distinct, Regrets & Brunettes are a band that isn’t defined by their roots but also one who isn’t afraid to show them.
