Song

Century is the first single to be taken from The Long Blondes second album Couples. It was released on March 24, 2008 as a limited edition 2-track 7" vinyl only.

The b-side to Century, The Unbearable Lightness of Buildings, was written specifically for Tate Modern as part of their 12-week long Tate Tracks that was held at the beginning of April 2007. The idea was Tate invited The Long Blondes to walk around the gallery and find a work of art that would inspire them to write a track. In the end, it was Jannis Kounellis’s Untitled that grabbed their attention. They said "Untitled caught our eye because we saw the stark industrial landscape and pictured ourselves within it" .

Century was well received by critics.
