Haven't bought much new music at all this year. Curse me for buying a new flat and getting engaged!

Aim- Flight 602


Not even sure if this is out yet coz I can't find it anywhere, but I've heard it all already and I went to an album launch gig back in november. That's a 2006 release in my books.


Anyone heard the new Mira Calix? any good?
