The Long Blondes have decided to call it a day. The main reason for this is that Dorian suffered from a stroke in June and unfortunately he does not know if he will be well enough to play guitar again.

A compilation of their early, pre-Rough Trade singles has been released- called, Singles. The CD includes the A & B-sides of their first four singles, and some bonus tracks.

The full tracklisting is:
1. New Idols
2. Long Blonde
3. Autonomy Boy
4. Giddy Stratospheres
5. Polly
6. Darts
7. Appropriation (By Any Other Name)
8. My Heart Is Out Of Bounds
9. Lust In The Movies
10. Separated By Motorways (alternative version)
11. Big Infatuation
12. Peterborough
