The Long Blondes new album "Couples" is in stores starting on May 6. And here’s what people are saying:
The Long Blondes, “Too Clever By Half” (from the forthcoming Rough Trade album "Couples"). The exact point where the former Pulp acolytes (still brilliant) turn into shimmering Blondie (‘Atomic’-era) pop stars (absolutely brilliant).
- The Village Voice
Eloquent, glamorous, spirited and now more sonically innovative than ever, the quintet have affirmed their place as one of Britain’s most exciting bands with this release.

In lyrics and music, The Long Blondes have managed to put out a sophomore album just as addictive and catchy as their debut "Someone To Drive You Home."
