Q4 this year will see another period of great critical, digital and retail support for key releases from [PIAS] and its partner labels. 2017 has been a great year for our distributed labels including No.1 albums for Beggars labels Matador and 4AD, with Queens Of The Stone Age and The National respectively, plus XL’s Sampha will see a strong end of year surge following his Mercury Prize win.
Bella Union’s Father John Misty will see the year out in style with his brilliant album Pure Comedy, our own Play It Again Sam label will end 2017 with an Enter Shikari arena tour in support of what promises to be their biggest album to date, Public Service Broadcasting will build upon the success of their Top 5 album Every Valley, whilst we will see several debut releases, including Kelela’s much-anticipated album and the Kurupt FM Lost Tape.
