Radiohead will release Kid A Mnesia in celebration of the 21st anniversary of the albums Kid A and Amnesiac. This triple album release also contains the new album Kid Amnesiae, which is comprised of recording sessions during the creation of the bands third and fourth albums.
With alternate versions and elements of Kid A and Amnesiac album tracks and B-Sides, Kid Amnesiae features the never-before-heard If You Say the Word, available now as a digital single and a previously unreleased studio recording of Follow Me Around.
Kid A Mnesia will be released on 5 November via XL Recordings and can be ordered from radiohead.ffm.to/if-you-say-the-word
