New album very soon?

TS: 'How To Disappear Completely' vs. The Eraser

Thread inspired me to pull out the TKOL FTB sessions audio again - just lovely.

I feel like we need a Radiohead in 2016 thread, and Melissa W should start it.

Radiohead's upcoming tropical house album.

New album very soon?

I sure hope so.

If new Radiohead material is indeed about to be released soon, I'm at least hoping for something a little bit more realised than The King of Limbs. Two of the best tracks from the period ('Staircase' and 'Supercollider') weren't even on the record, and in hindsight the live versions are often superior.

Staircase is such an awesome song. I'm shocked they didn't save that one for an album.

Radiohead Erase Internet

i wonder how many songs from 1997 are gonna be on this

xxpost:

Ideally, it should have been on The King of Limbs. Perhaps if they'd spent a couple more months on the record, both it and 'Supercollider' could have been!

hoping the rejected bond theme is an indicator of what to expect.

Indeed.

I'm pretty surprised that the website didn't fade back in at dawn this morning with some new music/news. Ah well, a little more waiting yet...

more like "The King of Limp (Cocks)" btw

still the best post itt

It wd be p hilarious if they like created that new company and erased all their shit and then, like, released no music at all and just silently retired

So, they've posted a video of a bird chirping at the crack of dawn on Instagram. Guess the LP actually is called The Dawn Chorus, then.

It's a nice little stop-motion animated chirping bird.

Apparently the otherwise still-blank website sometimes shows the bird video too, but I'm yet to spot it.

The website shows the bird video on the hour and half hour - I refreshed at 10am (UK) and it was there.

The bird is a teaser for a 'wicker man' sort of video... 'Burn the witch' reference I guess... video will be uploaded probably in the following hours. Jacknife Design is involved https://www.instagram.com/jacknifeprints/

They had previously worked with them for the There There video.

I've not managed to see the rorschach blob image yet myself that's meant to appear at 20 past and 20 to the hour.

I caught it this time, it was actually at 42 minutes past.

you know, i miss test patterns too, but not _that_ much.

Another new video on their website (& elsewhere presumably) with a link to WASTE.

There's a thing on Dead Air Space right now.

That sounds...different.

Is this gonna be the album where Jonny's soundtrack work finally wreaks havoc on the band cause I am SO DOWN for that

Enjoying the Trumpton does Hammer Horror vibe.

Time for a new thread? Or maybe wait till we know what the thing is called for sure.

We never did a Radiohead ILX Precover, did we?

We would need a tracklist for that.

Although we could just make that up.

Last time out, it was announced and released within a week.

(Previous time to that, it was basically released without warning)

There's a thread already, been around for years, will find it in a moment...

Radiohead LP9 Anticipation, Fangirling and random Cheesecake Thread (Do not read if you hate Radiohead or us)

I still vote for a new one.

(Previous time to that, it was basically released without warning)
I just looked up some old news posts and In Rainbows was announced in a post on their blog 10 days before the album's release.
King of Limbs was announced 4 days before the album's release.

We should expect this one to be announced ~2 days after release then

So this is the complete video for Burn The Witch then I guess

yorke's voice is good but the song itself is a little plodding

anyways i still play in rainbows from time to time, that album is beautiful, king of limbs eh it's okay i guess, it would've been better served with different album art, the cover is complete trash

Song sounds nice enough, nothing mindblowing but could be a grower. Great vid.

KoL has a good cover! suits the music well.

The mix seems a little flat but it could just be YT.

I like this new song a lot

The strings are very Owen Pallett.

his initials are TY btw

HA

This sounds a bit more immediate than anything off of TKOL. Bits of it remind me of Climbing Up The Walls. Although yeah, it doesn't seem to have much in the way of dynamics. The line 'low-flying panic attack' is Yorke by numbers. I love the video though. Not sure what I'd think of the song on its own.

yeah

redolent of 'the riverbed' except without a proper development and 1/10 the tension

the chorus is kinda nice-ish

radiohead aren't making interesting music now

wow this sounds great, so much better than anything on IR or TKOL
