The new CDEP "Wonders" from Swedish kraut/funk instrumental act Now is out, but you won't see it in your usual record stores. That's because it's a commissioned work to promote the Spanish shoe brand Wonders. So if you want a copy, it's not too hard to get one as the label Aa and friends Nosordo and EK-KE will be giving 'em away free with any order. Just ask!
