From the moment you first hear the chiming synths and cut glass electronic pop of 'Century', it's apparent that The Long Blondes sophomore album Couples is set to be one of the essential releases of 2008. The Long Blondes came together through a series of chance encounters. Kate (lips), Dorian (licks), Reenie (hips), Screech (sticks) and Emma (high kicks) bumped into each other at public library counters, charity shop sale rails and the dance floors of DIY club nights. They are the part of the next chapter of Sheffield's idiosyncratic musical heritage: The suburban disco fantasies of the Human League, the opulent ridiculousness of ABC, the seedy glamour of Pulp.

It's depressing that The Long Blondes' 2006 debut album wasn't a hit, but perhaps not unfathomable. Sure, "Someone To Drive You Home" was freighted wi...

Just as the Long Blondes' debut was all style and spikiness, its follow-up finds the singer Kate Jackson (or at least her persona) leaving a trail of...
