It is the same label.
Air Miami grew out of the ashes of Unrest, the jangly college-rock band we
all knew and loved back in the early 90s. OK, maybe it was just me, but
they were really good. I saw them when they toured with Stereolab and it
was a most excellent show indeed. Mark Robinson and Bridget Cross are Air
Maimi's primary members (and were two thirds of Unrest). They have an album
_Me,_Me,_Me_ released on 4AD/TeenBeat in the US, and a couple of EPs. If
you liked Unrest, it's pretty safe to say you'll like them.

The track on the Leaf compilation is pretty atypical for them, as I recall.
I was very surprised to see it there.
