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.

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.
