It's been a joy revisiting the archives with Katie for this roll-out, and we look forward to sharing more as the campaign unfolds in the coming months.

The album has been remastered and expanded with a collection of bonus material including b-sides, live performances and previously unreleased demo recordings from Katie's own archive.

@katiemeluaofficial.bsky.social has announced a special 20th anniversary reissue of her multi-platinum second album Piece by Piece, out 5th December.

You can pre-order the double CD / LP now katiemelua.lnk.to/PBP20.

The first single from the reissue, 'I Cried For You (Demo)', is out today.

Each release included a limited Test Pressing Edition and Artist Edition, hand numbered and signed by James Lavelle, alongside the standard vinyl. The limited editions all sold out to Original Headz newsletter subscribers, prioritising the core fanbase.

Alongside several merch drops, UNKLE have had two vinyl releases so far this year: Exodus / Revisited and Rōnin DJ Mixes Vol. 1.

UNKLE's only London headline show this year is coming up at KOKO on Friday 24th October, and promises to be something really special - Rōnin Live:3D:FX will be a holographic performance of Rōnin:Live. Tickets are available here: lnk.to/RoninLive3DF...

As well this year, we've rolled out several limited edition print drops, including Ralph Steadman's Down the Inkwell #1 and two prints from Stanley Donwood and Thom Yorke: Hotels and a Swimming Pool and Get Out Before Saturday.

We work closely with TIN MAN ART across exhibitions, fairs and limited edition print drops.

A current highlight is This Is What You Get, a major retrospective of the art of Stanley Donwood, @thomyorke.wastehq.social and @radiohead.wastehq.social open until January 2026 at Oxford's Ashmolean Museum.

Thom's latest release is the single Dialing In, which features as the theme for a new Apple TV series Smoke.

Another major project for Thom was Hamlet Hail to the Thief, which involved reconstructing the songs of Hail to the Thief for a dynamic new production of the Shakespeare classic.

Lead by the single Back In The Game, which was debuted on Thom's Everything tour in New Zealand last year, the album is accompanied by a rich visual world, created by Jonathan Zawada.

Much of our focus for @thomyorke.wastehq.social this year has been the rollout of his collaborative album with Mark Pritchard, the exceptional Tall Tales.

Ever inventive, PJ Harvey's dress became a living record of the tour, each night marked with a drawing by a band member before stepping on stage. We worked with designer Todd Lynn to help tell the story of this drawing dress.

Back in February, we celebrated 30 years of @pjharveyofficial.bsky.social's incredible album To Bring You My Love. Shortly after, PJH took to the road to complete the I Inside the Old Year Dying tour, with shows across Australia and Japan.

Rolling out the announcement has been quite enlivening, to say the least, including more than 40 separate comms channel actions happening more or less simultaneously.

We managed campaign strategy, rollout, and execution, spanning both the album launch and the accompanying limited edition screenprint, made from the original stage drapes used that night.

Reflecting on some of our standout moments from 2024:

We were proud to support the release of @katiemeluaofficial.bsky.social's Live at the Royal Albert Hall, her third live album, recorded during a sold-out show at the iconic venue.

In a related project, we rolled out the launch of the Logical Absurdity exhibition, featuring tapestries and pictures made by Stanley Donwood and Thom Yorke.

Reflecting on 2024:

We helped facilitate a quick sell-out for TIN MAN ART's limited print drop 'Two Moons' - a lithographic print made by @thomyorke.wastehq.social and Stanley Donwood, the original artwork for which became the cover for @thesmiletheband.bsky.social third album Cutouts.

Our role encompasses managing the communications calendar before, during and after the tour dates, including pre-sale announcements and commercial strategy.

This was followed by a 16-show run across North America.

Come October, we rolled out out pre-sales for PJ Harvey's tour dates in Australia and Japan, helping to boost her audience in those territories. The tour continues at Golden Plains festival in Victoria this weekend.

Focused on the albums Rid Of Me, Is this Desire? and 4-Track Demos, each design features the iconic album photography by Maria Mochnacz and is produced with 100% organic, fair trade cotton using ethical, water-based inks.

We're so proud to have been part of bringing these to life.
