Radiohead to return to studio in October
Radiohead are set to record new material when the tour ends in October. Ed O’Brien told the BBC: “It’s the life blood of what we do, it’s the thing that keeps you going”
The band ends their tour in Tokyo, Japan in October and will head back to the studio shortly after. Ed: “Because by the end of the tour, you’re bored of what you’re playing. You need more life and energy and the only way to do that is writing new songs.”
Sadly for fans, O’Brien won’t be pushed on when the new songs are likely to be unveiled. He said: “It could be five years, it could be the end of this year, it’s whether it’s any good, that’s the point. We’ve just got to do it and see if it’s any good.”
Radiohead start their tour in West Palm Beach, FL tonight. Playing live is the part Ed enjoys the most. Ed told BBC’s Newsbeat: ”It’s about music and direct communication. But it’s also a very unreal existence. I can’t get excited until we’re doing the soundcheck on the first day and it really dawns on me what we’re doing.”
O’Brien also revealed his passion for Prince, who covered Radiohead’s Creep at the Coachella music festival in California.
He said: “He is probably the greatest at the moment and I remember when he played the Brits two years ago. ”He made everybody, including us, look like amateurs. That’s very flattering, he’s the man. We’d love to do one of his songs but we’d probably murder it.”

thom singing “lady cab driver” would be the funniest sort of armageddon i could ever experience.
glad to know they’re already excited about working on new material, anyhow… radiohead is the absolute most consistently evolving band in the world, and they’re one of the only acts whose albums i still honestly can’t wait to hear. all my other favorites have gone at least somewhat sour, heh.
so… yay!

well…In Rainbows seems so painstakingly polished, and Radiohead are perfectionists - so even if they go into the studio in October it’s at least gonna be 2 years, probably more, before something gets released.

I would love them to do an EP this time and put it out EARLY next year. If they set out to do another full album it will be literally decades before we hear it!

While I’m excited about new material, I’m disappointed that once again Australia seems to be off the radar.
