Its a history lesson.

In ancient Roman times if you wanted to tell someone to eat shit but didn't hate them enough to kill them you'd send them a gif of birds chirping.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

This is nothing compared to the 24/7 fuckery that was tlop.

Chill.

After the circus of agony that was tlop I have the patience of a saint when it comes to album releases.

 

[Steamlord]

Do you guys remember m b v? lol

 

[King_Moc]

Do you guys remember m b v? lol

I remember staying up until 5am to download it, yes. Was worth it though.

 

[KidA Seven]

Yeah, if they somehow drag this shit out till next week they've lost at least one customer unless the price of the new album is exactly $free

Who are you trying to fool? You are still going to get the album.

 

[Servbot24]

Embarrassing. lol

The thirst is real.

Burn the Witch!

So... that's new music.

 

[SamVimes]

That music sounds pretty good. I don't keep up with unreleased material so I don't know if it's a song that is already known.

 

[Xun]

Fuckkkkk.

That small clip sounds great.

I am beyond hyped right now.

 

[Gouty]

Only listening once, I don't want to experience uneven wear on the album BUT OH MY GOD THOSE STRINGS WERE SIIIIIIIIIIIICKKJJK

 

[EdibleExplosives]

That music sounds pretty good. I don't keep up with unreleased material so I don't know if it's a song that is already known.

It's most likely Burn The Witch, a song that no one has heard outside of a few opening chords, if I'm remembering correctly.

 

[Deeku]

Fuckkkkk.

That small clip sounds great.

I am beyond hyped right now.

theory is a clip every 6 hours so.....slow burn i guess!

Also re music, pretty excited since it's something totally different! (as usual)

 

[Servbot24]

I hope that clip isn't actually the new music... I know it's just a couple seconds but it sounds like super basic indie junk.

 

[King_Moc]

Clip sounded promising to me. I remain thoroughly hyped.

 

[Gouty]

I hope that clip isn't actually the new music... I know it's just a couple seconds but it sounds like super basic indie junk.

Ahhhh yes, the tired indie band with an orchestra cliche

 

[whatevermort]

I have absolutely no idea how you can tell what it sounds like - beyond it being ominous strings - based on that clip. Super basic indie junk? Jesus.

 

[Oreoleo]

I like that it sounds very organic and not over-produced junk like TKOL.

That animation is wonderful too. Arguably more excited for the video than I am the album.

 

[eXtv]

Love the morbid Little People aesthetic

 

[jdw_b]

Okay

Excited for this, I'm expecting some sort of big climax after that build up but knowing Radiohead it could transition into anything...Trans-Atlantic Drawl has taught me that

TKOL is the only modern Radiohead album that I just don't like at all, so if this is nothing like it, good.

 

[Servbot24]

Ahhhh yes, the tired indie band with an orchestra cliche

Yeah? A million bands use strings to decorate their swelling guitar chords.

And I'm quite sure the song will be very different than that, but they gave us a clip so I'm commenting on the clip.

Nothing wrong with a band using an orchestra. As with everything, it depends how they use it. Radiohead tend to be quite imaginative in their arrangements.

How to Disappear is almost entirely without equal in that dpmt

Fixed that for you.

Idk man I have to make reservations for Cloudbusting/Eleanor Rigby/some stuff I'm probably forgetting

Although I'm not into the clip, the thought of Jonny having more input is very exciting.

[infiniteloop]

hope that clip is new music, sounds great.
Another KOL would kill me dead.

 

[eXtv]

Jonny literally wrote the software TKOL was constructed with he's always been nearly as powerful as Thom in the group for better and for worse, he has the reputation as the guitars + orchestras guy but he's really a lot more

 

[Screaming Meat]

How to Disappear is almost entirely without equal in that dpmt

Absolutely. It's in a really tasteful Penderecki style that manages to completely avoid the whole Eleanor Rigby cliche that most bands fall back on.

Although I'm not into the clip, the thought of Jonny having more input is very exciting.

All I Need is lush too. The story behind that arrangement is pretty cool:

New York Times December 9, 2007: Jonny Greenwood said that for this song, he wanted to recapture the white noise generated by a band playing loudly in a room, when “all this chaos kicks up.” In an artificial studio setting he found it impossible to generate such a sound so his solution was to use a string section, and his own overdubbed violas, sustaining every note of the scale, blanketing the frequencies.

Love it. Apparently, he's always telling Thom to add in 'wrong notes'. Plus, I think on a live take of one of the newer songs, Thom mumbles something about 'This is Jonny's bit', so I reckon he definitely has a lot of sway.

 

[Gouty]

And I'm quite sure the song will be very different than that, but they gave us a clip so I'm commenting on the clip.

Bands and strings, yes. But I said indies and orchestras.

Unsigned artists don't typically have access to orchestras due to the associated costs. I'm not talking about a violin and cello, I'm talking about a Greenwood sized orchestra.

 

[Blader]

Album title in the top right corner?

Edit- well, probably not. It's too early for this!

 

[BruceCLea]

Jesus Christ can we listen to the whole fucking song before we jump to conclusions? It's 6 SECONDS!

 

[Screaming Meat]

That clip sounds like their playing col legno... or summink. That's fairly atypical.

How big is a typical Greenwood orchestra?

 

[Gouty]

How big is a typical Greenwood orchestra?

Flaccid or erect?

Fully laden.

He was the BBC's director of classical music a while back, so full size (64 piece?) wouldn't surprise me these days.

Can you explain what this means instead of just casually dropping lingo that a majority of this thread is unfamiliar with?

Percussive string play, but I don't find it atypical for Greenwood, his movie soundtracks are loaded with this stuff

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

guys stuff is happening

also radiohead.com now defaults to DAS

Good Morning, Mr. Magpie!

 

[Macadinho94]

Must be awesome when you're as big as Radiohead to dictate how your music is released in innovative ways.

 

[InfernoNR]

What a time to be alive

 

[infiniteloop]

next clip will be someone using an elevator.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Are you always this passive-aggressive? It's hitting the strings with the back of the bow. Like the Mars section of Holst's The Planets Suite.

Also: Google.

Christ. I didn't know that.

Atypical for an 'indie band with an orchestra'.
