Happy Valentines Day from THE LONG BLONDES 14 Feb 2008


Today is a GREAT day to tell you about the upcoming album by THE LONG BLONDES....1) because it's awesome 2) because it's called "Couples"! It will be released on April 8th by Rough Trade. Legend has it that the recording of the album took place under the watchful gaze of the ‘couples wall’, constructed in the studio by the band and featuring images of dynamic duos throughout history; The Two Ronnies, Gilbert and George, Ron and Russel Mael of Sparks and Basil and Sybil Fawlty to name but a few. Bassist Reenie Hollis explains: “Situations continually arose when we would look towards famous couples for inspiration, entertainment or enlightenment. It was either fate or the onset of cabin fever but “Couples” seemed like the ideal title.” More prosaically, most of the songs relate to the relationships between couples, or at least ex-couples. So.......whether your single or part of a "Couple" - The Long Blondes new album HEARTS U 4 EVER!
