The Long Blondes new album

The Long Blondes have a new album ready to see a spring release.

The British pop act's sophomore effort, Couples, is on track for an April 7 release from Rough Trade in the United Kingdom. The act, which entered the studio this fall to record the effort, worked with producer Errol Alkan (Franz Ferdinand) who remixed the band's "Five Ways to End It" for a white-label single this summer. A North American release date for the follow-up to Someone to Drive You Home (Rough Trade/Beggars), has yet to be pinned down.
