Amidst news that Thom Yorke is scoring the new Radiohead exhibition, composing music for a Broadway production and speculation that Radiohead is scoring the next James Bond movie (spawning way too many Exit Music (For a Film) jokes), Yorke has dropped a brand spankin’ new track.
It was almost overlooked at the Latitude Festival in the UK amongst all the commotion, but now, fan footage of the new song has arisen. The lyrics are almost unintelligible, but it’s speculated that that the track is from Radiohead’s (long overdue) upcoming album, of which details are still unclear. The track itself is low and brooding, glitchy and electronic but also with all of the superb gravity and meditative quality that Yorke (and indeed, all of Radiohead) is so known for. Have a listen for yourself below.
A busy Thom Yorke continues his world tour for his latest album Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes in Japan, with a gig in Tokyo on August 15, where he’ll hopefully debut even more new music.
