We are very pleased to announce the Japanese release of Laura's album Radio Swan is Down. Earlier this year the guys at the Warsawa indie record store in Tokyo began a new label called Happy Prince (www.happyprince.info), their first release was from Irish based trio God Is An Astronaut (www.godisanastronaut.com). Laura's RSID will be the second release for Happy Prince and it's out TOMORROW!

The Japanese edition contains alternate cover art, a new track order PLUS the bonus track We Should Keep This Secret. If you're quick the first 200 copies also include a bonus CDR which contains the Film Clips for Every Light, I Hope, We Should Keep This Secret and Hikikomori plus the live version of Radio Swan Is Down Part 1 taken from the brand new live album (Re)Capitualte.

Cheers,
Dave Gagliardi
