===Fourth incarnation (2008–present)=== In January 2008 Unkle released ''More Stories'', containing a mix of [[B-side]]s, remixes, unreleased ''War Stories'' session tracks, and music composed for the film ''Odyssey in Rome''. The same month, Rich File announced he was leaving Unkle after 10 years' collaboration to pursue work with his new band, We Fell to Earth.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.noizemakesenemies.co.uk/2008/01/file-leaves-unkle-news.html|title=Noize Makes Enemies.co.uk - File leaves Unkle|website=noizemakesenemies.co.uk|access-date=5 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090203093420/http://www.noizemakesenemies.co.uk/2008/01/file-leaves-unkle-news.html|archive-date=3 February 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref> In March the Lazarides Gallery in [[London]] showcased ''War Paint'', an exhibition of artworks inspired by the recent Unkle album ''War Stories'', with works from [[Robert Del Naja]], Warren du Preez, Nick Thornton Jones, Will Bankhead and [[Ben Drury]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lazinc.com/content/images/exhibitions/war_paint/Press_release_-_War_Paint_at_Lazarides_Gallery.pdf|title=War Paint at Lazarides Gallery|website=lazinc.com|access-date=5 April 2018}}{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Unkle began touring the UK with [[Zoot Woman]] and Sebastian and Mr. Flash from the French electro record label [[Ed Banger Records]]. The concert, set across four acts, featured live performances from past Unkle contributors including [[Badly Drawn Boy]], Liela Moss from [[The Duke Spirit]], [[Clayhill|Gavin Clark]] and Joel Cadbury from [[South (U.K. band)|South]]. Unkle's fourth full album titled ''[[End Titles... Stories for Film]]'' was released in July 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://unkle.shop.musictoday.com/Dept.aspx?cp=1228_11285|title=DJ James Lavelle/UNKLE | Shop the DJ James Lavelle/UNKLE Official Store|website=DJ James Lavelle/UNKLE | Shop the DJ James Lavelle/UNKLE Official Store|access-date=5 April 2018}}</ref> It includes collaborations with [[Chris Goss]], [[Black Mountain (band)|Black Mountain]], [[Philip Sheppard (musician)|Philip Sheppard]], Dave Bateman, Joel Cadbury, and James Griffith ([[Lake Trout (band)|Lake Trout]]). The album is described in the sleeve notes by Lavelle as "not a new album in the usual sense, but new music that has been inspired by the moving image." As such, it can be considered a companion piece both to War Stories but also to the earlier Unklesounds mix, ''Edit Music for a Film''. 14 December 2008 saw the digital release of ''End Titles... Redux'', an album that was released the following day in a limited pressing of 3000 CDs available from official Unkle stores. This release features seven re-interpreted tracks from the album ''End Titles... Stories for Film'' plus 2 never-before-released tracks, "When Once It Was" and "A Perfect Storm". The exclusive package is a 6-panel soft-pack with a 12-page booklet with images by [[Robert Del Naja]]. Upon the release of the single "[[Heavy Drug (Surrender Sounds Mix)]]" in August 2009, Unkle disclosed they had already begun recording their next studio album, ''[[Where Did the Night Fall]]'', which was released in May 2010. This also included an all-star cast of performers including: [[Mark Lanegan]], [[Nick Cave]], [[The Black Angels (band)|The Black Angels]], [[Sleepy Sun]], and [[Katrina Ford]], as well as ELLE J and Gavin Clark. The album is also available as a digital download from Unkle's site. It was announced on 18 April 2011 that Unkle would headline the Dance Stage at the [[Reading and Leeds Festivals]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://leedsfestival.com/2011/news/article/the_dance_stage_is_unveiled |title=Leeds Festival News | News and Announcements for 2012 |publisher=Leedsfestival.com |date=2012-04-24 |access-date=2012-04-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120323114516/http://leedsfestival.com/2011/news/article/the_dance_stage_is_unveiled |archive-date=23 March 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref> They would be performing a world-exclusive audio-visual DJ set at the festivals, playing songs from their back catalogue alongside remixes of other artists' songs as well as Unkle's own material.
