[Deeku]

Recently split up with his partner of 20-so years.

So it's gonna be a Ghost Stories situation...

Maybe "half of my life" then and not "half of my love"

 

[ghostjoke]

New Song.
Directed by P.T. Anderson.
With album to drop Sunday.

Oh hell yes.

Recently split up with his partner of 20-so years.

Ah I see.


On a side note Thom Yorke is only worth 35 Million and Dave Grohl is worth 250 Million is that just random Nirvana money? Radiohead is much bigger than Foo Fighters.

 

[Nerrel]

I remember when Spectre released and a lot of people were saying 'I hope LP9 is just like this..." and it turns out it is. I love the sounds they've gotten between this and Burn the Witch.

I can only imagine if Skirting on the Surface makes it on the record with this kind of treatment... can't fucking wait.

 

[jett]

i'm like 99% sure someone said this when kid a released.

That sure wasn't me though, as I loved Kid A, and Kid A was also completely different from previous Radiohead stuff. These two songs really aren't that, except for the fact that Yorke seems to be all about dem string ensembles now.

These song aren't bad, what I feel is indifference, as if I've heard them already. Maybe the whole album works better together, but that's like literally the opposite experience I had with In Rainbows and King of Limbs.

 

[Simon Belmont]

Ah I see.

They've put out a lot more records, they tour more, Dave also does a tonne of side projects, too. And Nirvana money.

Really though it's all about the touring. Dave Matthews is also worth about 250 million, and that's all tour money.

Fair enough, I was just googling Thom Yorke and saw his net worth and was surprised.

 

[Simon Belmont]

On the other hand, I don't know what advantages in life having 250 million would give you that 30 million wouldn't.

 

[Majine]

No album name yet? Weird.

Monday 3.30 am

At least I'll have a new album for the morning train ride in to work.

 

[Skeletron]

"He was looking for the barber shop the entire time."

fucking lol

Loved it. Lots of variation in this one. I was worried we were going to get a whole album of Jonny strings (not that I wouldn't enjoy it).

 

[Static Veins]

Could just be based on the speculation these past few months rather than being anything concrete, but The Independent says the new album is called Dawn Chorus.

That's been rumoured for quite some time.

 

[Tenebrous]

Either work well.

 

[Simon Belmont]

Either work well.

Could be both!

 

[TheMan]

New album Sunday?? Oh lawdy

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Dawn Chorus is the name of the shell company they created recently right? They did the same with In Rainbows and TKOL but they were named differently than the company.

 

[Madouu]

It's probably been said but the video clip for Daydreaming looks like a memory palace kind of thing.

Love both songs, looking like it's going to be a quality album, as always.

 

[Red Blaster]

i legit wonder if ed even plays anything on this record

 

[King_Moc]

Wow, wow, wow at the new song! It's gorgeous! Will be hovering over F5 like a madman on Sunday night.

Foo Fighters are far, far bigger. They're also much, much worse. Commercial rock is dull as fuck.

Which band will people talk about in 50 years time?

 

[Screaming Meat]

It's beautiful. Can't wait to hear what else is in store on Sunday.

I might be wrong (sorry) but I think I can hear a really high-pitch guitar with some kind of tremolo effect. Around the 4:20 mark.

Nirvana.

Poor guy is stuck with the Ebow forever.

He just wants to thrash again.

 

[Lys Skygge]

Fucking LOVE Paul Thomas Anderson! Beautiful video and song.

 

[King_Moc]

Spoiler

Nirvana.

I dunno, surely vaguely depressed teenagers will move on to something else eventually? I already feel like everyone over the age of 25 that's into that kind of thing has substituted Nirvana for the Pixies.

 

[Oli]

So far both tracks have a very movie soundtrack feel to them. Very visual songs. Looking forward to Sunday.

 

[Screaming Meat]

I never left In Utero behind.

 

[Error]

I like Burn the Witch more than this, but it's still a good song.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Theres a bit of phillip glass about the song

First thing that came to mind.

 

[Reknoc]

Wonder if this will be the last song on the album. Reminds me a lot of Videotape and Motion Picture Soundtrack. Very beautiful.

 

[DataStream]

From the beginning I've felt this going to be OK, Kid A, IR tier Radiohead and maybe end up being their masterwork. I look forward to Sunday very much.

 

[megalowho]

A little wary the record will sound like Radiohead doing a film score, which definitely has a certain appeal to it but maybe not what I was hoping for after 5 years. Will know soon enough.

 

[outunderthestars]

Love this song so much more than much of what they have released on the last few records. Day 1 for me!

 

[kingocfs]

Love it.

 

[Majine]

These two songs are already better than the entirety of King of Limbs.

 

[pantsmith]

These two songs are already better than the entirety of King of Limbs.

Gross hyperbole, ugh.

 

[DataStream]

I'm also predicting that this album is going to be eponymously titled.

 

[RBH]

Daydreaming is up on Spotify right now.

 

[Alpende]

Not a big fan of Radiohead but I'll give it a listen.

 

[Mr. Hyde]

This song feels like Radiohead and Olafur Arnalds teamed up for a song. I need that to happen. I cannot wait for this album on Sunday! I love both songs. They're right up my alley.

 

[riotous]

Reminds me a bit of Explosions in the Sky.

 

[Concrete Charlie]

Fuckin' fuckity fuck yeah. Count me in.

 

[maquiladora]

These two songs are already better than the entirety of King of Limbs.

You know what.....no lies detected.

 

[Servbot24]

Reminds me a bit of Explosions in the Sky.

I think you're trying to bait me.

 

[King_Moc]

These two songs are already better than the entirety of King of Limbs.

My problem with TKOL is that the stuff where they tried to do something very different (Bloom, Little By Little, Morning Mr Magpie, Feral) just wasn't very good. These two new songs are different and have easily surpassed those four.

 

[denx]

These two songs are already better than the entirety of King of Limbs.

I dunno man. Bloom, Lotus Flower, Give Up the Ghost and Separator are incredible. These new songs are incredible too. Hype levels are through the roof.

 

[robotrock]

Oh my god. Thank you Radiohead

 

[Floridian]

Jesus Christ. All these surprise announcements. Can't wait.
