This post is long overdue as I've had this neat little compilation stuck in my inbox for a couple of months now. For this week's Fresh from the Post, instead of an artist feature, we feature a couple of songs from A Cure for the Brokenhearted - a twelve-song compilation chocfull of unique indie gems care of our friends at the Edible Onion.

Directed by Spanish director Jesús Hernández, to kick things off again, our Video of the Week is  Mondrian's 'Last Breakfast On Planet Surf'.
