As the drummer in the Brunettes (who will release their Sub Pop debut, Structure & Cosmetics, on August 7), New Zealander Nick Harte is already a busy man. UPDATE: HARTE IS NO LONGER IN THE BRUNETTES. But he has further stuffed his schedule by signing to DFA/Astralwerks for a forthcoming release from his solo project, Shocking Pinks.

On September 25, the label(s) will release the self-titled Shocking Pinks, a compilation of remastered tunes from Shocking Pinks' two 2005 albums for NZ label Flying Nun, both of which were follow-ups to SP's debut, Dance the Dance Electric.

Thus, the purpose of Shocking Pinks is to reintroduce Harte's solo wanderings to the world, a project he and DFA/Astralwerks will continue with forthcoming remixes by artists like Deerhunter, the Glimmers, Arkitype, and Eluvium.
