Despite the fact that I’ve been swooning over the Long Blondes for the past two years, I’ve yet to pick up “Couples”, their second album, which came out digitally a couple of weeks ago. I’m holding out for the physical release on May 6th, although what with my being broke and with three exciting albums coming out tomorrow and a big trip to New York City this weekend I’m not sure if I’m actually going to get the chance to buy it right away. Especially since I also need to buy tickets to see the Long Blondes when they come to Boston on the 19th; I’m sort of nerdily anxious to hear if Kate Jackson will be able to hit all the super-high notes that seem to have replaced the spoken interludes in all their songs.
In the meantime, they’ve been kind enough to release a new video for Guilt, the second single from the album. It has lots of dogs so of course I love it. As for the song, it’s not quite as exciting as Century, I don’t think, but I feel like it might be a grower.
