www.myspace.com/blocparty
If suffering from severe January Blues, then this single's title might not be what you want to hear mentioned
nearly a month to the day after you were merrily sipping Rioja adorned in paper hat and knitted rudolph jumper. However
as most of us have been dieing to hear what Kele, Russell, Gordon and Matt next have up their ever-inventive sleeves,
then the so-called "most depressing time of year" suddenly looks a whole lot brighter!
The brilliant 'One Month Off' was produced by Paul Epworth and engineered by Mark Rankin in The Pool, summer 2008.
Released 19th January 2009
