Blondie are releasing a new album, Pollinator, on May 5 via BMG. Previously the iconic ‘70s band shared the album’s first single, “Fun,” as well as a video for the song, and “Long Time,” which was co-written by frontwoman Debbie Harry and Blood Orange‘s Devonté Hynes. Plus there was a video for “Long Time.” “Long Time” will be released as a 7-inch tomorrow for Record Store Day and now the band has shared its non-album B-side, “The Breaks.” Listen to it below via Brooklyn Vegan (who premiered it).

Pollinator features a slew of special guests, including Charli XCX, Johnny Marr, Sia, TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek, Joan Jett, Laurie Anderson, The Strokes’ Nick Valensi, and others.
