It has been suggested that this article be merged into "Couples" (album). (Discuss) Proposed since August 2008.

"Century"
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 Video for Century was directed by Minsu Song, a second year student on the Graphic Design course at Central St. Martins. The video is the first example of a new collaboration between Rough Trade and CSM, where students compete to pitch ideas for a designated track.

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.
