Label/Supplier Notes |
|---|
The Long Blondes; sardonic style icon and protagonist-in-chief Kate Jackson, guitarist Dorian Cox, bassist Reenie Hollis, keyboardist Emma Chaplin and drummer Screech. The next chapter of Sheffield's idiosyncratic musical heritage: they combine the suburban disco fantasies of The Human League, the opulent ridiculousness of ABC, the seedy glamour of Pulp.
Their new single, 'Weekend Without Makeup', (recorded with Steve Mackey (Pulp, MIA)) bares all the hallmarks of a Long Blondes classic. The witty yet disturbing narratives, the barely contained guitar lines and drum crashes. Like the Slits playing Roxy Music or Donna Summer reciting the collected works of Harold Pinter, the Long Blondes are truly becoming auteurs of the perfect left-field pop song.
The single is split across three formats (Two 7's and a CD) with an exclusive B-side on each produced by Erol Alkan (of Trash and Franz Ferdinand remix fame).
