Jenny and Johnny
I'm Having Fun Now
(Warner Bros.)

Fission
(Hi-Speed Soul)

Antony and the Johnstons
Thank You for Your Love EP
(Secretly Canadian)

Antony Hegarty and company offer a taste of the forthcoming Swanlights LP with a mini-release that includes new tracks and covers of John Lennon's "Imagine" and Bob Dylan's "Pressing On."
