Laika release their brilliant new album, 'Wherever I Am, I Am What Is Missing', in the UK this week on October 20th. The album is layered with feeling; from the wistful sweeping melodies of ‘Alphabet Soup’ to the dark, rolling hypnotic beats of ‘Fish For Nails’, Laika’s cool melodies, dub basslines and layers of sound compliment Margaret's entrancing vocals which weave effortlessly in and out of the mix. The album artwork is beautiful - we've created three designs for you to download and use as your desktop / wallpaper.

Compilation
'Guy and Margaret are currently slaving away in the home studio on their fourth album proper, the follow up to the immaculate ‘Good Looking Blues’. Delayed somewhat by Margaret’s touring duties with erstwhile too pure artist PJ Harvey, an interim collection of past Laika recordings entitled ‘Lost in Space’ will be released in September and should satisfy fans and the curious alike, more details soon.
