Another amazing remix from Pantha Du Prince dropped into my inbox last week. This time he turns his talents to Indie popsters The Long Blondes . To be honest I don't think I've ever heard any of their records but I'm very tempted to check their material after hearing this. As usual Pantha Du Prince adds his classic synth washes and melodic structure which creates a beautiful fusion with the hushed ethereal vocals touches. This mix is definitely as good if not better than his Animal Collective mix which we posted [...]
Un solo post esta semana para el correspondiente top del mes, ya que Stereo Pills se tomará unas pequeñas vacaciones hasta el próximo Lunes. Este mes destacamos especialmente Accelerate, el esperado regreso de REM, y de alguna forma su resurección después de tres discos realmente decepcionantes. Accelerate, como su nombre indica, es rápido, es guitarrero y tiene algunas de las mejores canciones que los de Athens han compuesto en decadas. Su mejor trabajo desde New Adventures In Hi Fi. ---English--- [...]
The Long Blondes ' Someone To Drive You Home was a VERY GOOD album so much so that I was forced to give it a 5 out of 5 for being a perfect album. A year later, they released their 2nd album "Couples" recently and it received some significant blog hype before Pitchfork spanked it with a poor review. (hmm spanking long blondes...sounds like a porno). I was still excited to say the least. I have to tell you from the start that I hated the album right off the bat. Stylistically they changed from their [...]
This is a geek dog whistle, see if you can hear it... That's not even real footage from anything, and I'm already like Michael J. Fox in his dad's hardware store. Wait, what's that? Oh, music...right. Umm, here... the Long Blondes - "Nostalgia"
"Some To Drive You Home" adlı ilk albümlerinden sonra bizi şimdi yeni albümleriyle karşılıyor The Long Blondes. Sheffield'dan çıkan ve tavırlarıyla İngiltere'de dikkat çeken bu beşli bakalım yeni albümlerinde neler yapmış. Öncelikle ilk albümlerinde Pulp'ın basçısı Steve Mackey ile çalışmışlardı prodüksiyonda ve bunun etkileri de ortadaydı. Bu sefer temelden bir değişiklikle İngiltere'nin gözdesi Erol Alkan'la çalışmışlar. Etkiler yine ortada. Albümde Erol Alkan'la çalışmaları Disco akımının etkilerini hissetmemize sebep olmuş. Geneli açısından yapacağım ilk yorum ise orjinal New York Eletronik Punk Rock varken böyle kopyalarına ihtiyacımız olmadığı yönünde. Daha ilk parçadan bu ortada. Vakti zamanının [...]
So, the exciting news: I am finally returning to the land of my birth! I went to college in the 90's in the southwestern corner of Canada, went back to Portland after, then returned to marry my Canadian sweetheart and start a family. We've decided that now (despite all the bad news about the American economy) is the time to move our family to Portland and start building our life there.I have missed Portland badly over the last five years, and kept doing my show on KPSU (recording it at home & sending it online to the station) in anticipation [...]
Guilt : Long Blondes Mp3 (YSI) Young Love (Shoes Remix) : Mystery Jets Mp3 (YSI)
Aujourd'hui, j'aimerais vous schtroumpfer des Long blondes, schtroumpf de Sheffield qui schtroumpfe pas mal en ce moment. Un schtroumpf dont le nom a été mal schtroumpfé puisqu'il comprend trois schtroumpfettes ... brunes, et dont l'une est, me schtroumpfe-t-il, plus ronde que longue. Enfin allez comprendre ... Les Long blondes sont régulièrement schtroumpfés à Blondie ou aux Yeah yeah yeahs, affirmation avec laquelle je suis plutôt schtroumpf : il y a bien une schtroumpfe new-yorkaise dans leur musique. Tout n'est pas [...]

I've not bought it yet, but soon it will be mine: the new Long Blondes album. Here's a lovely shouty track from Couples . If you're like me, buying this album is pretty much a no-brainer, but if not, perhaps this song will convince you. That's all! A more considered response to follow in the near future.
The Long Blondes are a 5-piece art-rock band who in the past year have come from little-known sheffield charity-shop dwellers to one of the biggest indie bands around.The band consists of Kate Jackson (vocals), Dorian Cox (guitar, backing vocals), Emma Chaplain (guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), Reenie Hollis (bass, backing vocals) and Screech Louder (drums). This week they bring us a new studio album titled Couples . You can buy this online through HMV . Get a peep of this extraordinary record by listening to "Guilt" and if you like it, take it along here . [...]

Before I get into this week's ridiculous amount of new releases, I would like to announce the two winners of The Swell Season prizepack that we ran last week. The amount of people who participated was staggering to say the least, and there were so many great comments to read through. I enjoyed it so much, that I had to include a few of my favorite scenes as well. Unfortunately, I could only choose two winners, though, I wish there could've been more. Anyways, congratulations to both Chris and Tiffany R. [...]
This week features a huge amount of releases for your listening pleasure. It is one of those weird weeks that is solid throughout. That said, there are a few albums that I would highly recommend. Cloud Cult's Feel Good Ghosts is an excellent album that really builds on what made their previous release, The Meaning of 8 , such a great album. For those of you who are like me and love to add to their electronic/electronic rock collection, Cut Copy's In Ghost Colors will have you spinning it for a [...]
I haven't done this before, but there was so much great music (and so little else out there currently I'm caring to write about) that I'm giving new releases and extension of sorts. Yesterday , I hit the latest from Nick Cave , Man Man and Wye Oak , and if you count the week prior 's poach of Foals and Monday's 'Ear on TV' sideways glance of the latest 'effort' from Tapes n' Tapes , I've already hit on five releases this week. But that still [...]
Sheffield's The Long Blondes have just released their sophomore album, "Couples," this week in the UK (North America sees a May 6 release), and after my first listen, I wasn't particularly impressed. I reckon I was anticipating an album full of the brilliance of Giddy Stratospheres, but as much as I want there to be some of that sparkling genius on this album, it doesn't exist. I tried listening to the album again (I often need a few listens before I can make any grand declarations about a record), and it still disappoints me. For the most part, [...]
It appears to be another solid week of new releases. So if you're heading down to your local record store here are a few SDM recommendations. Let us know what you pick up. Also let us know if we've left anything off our list. New Releases, Cover Art, and MP3's after the jump...
