Radiohead’s new song: Super Collider
As reported in our live updates last night, Thom Yorke played a new song in Radiohead’s second encore of their show in Dublin.
At Malahide Castle, Thom played the piano in a song that hasn’t been played before. It’s unsure if this is the new song the band have been working on in previous soundchecks. A video of the performance has turned up. And for now the song is titled ‘Super Collider’ until we hear otherwise. Enjoy!

what do you mean barry? Radiohead don’t do enough of these - don’t you like fog (live) or videotape?

perhaps it has something to do with the CERN Large Hadron Collider being switched on soon?

Yeah that sounds pretty good. I love it when Thom does this kind of song. Whoever mentioned Backdrifts before was right, it’s got that feel. The chords are a little like I Froze Up too.
Thom continues the genius! This eclipses anything on the new Coldplay record (it really is mediocre if you haven’t heard it yet).

I love piano songs, but this particular one, as Videotape, is kind of boring.
I love Radiohead for not being repetitive, and I’m afraid this ishighly repetitive (at least in my opinion).

it sounds wonderful - a few electronics or weird guitars noises would be apreciate it maybe when they record the song - i haven t have a taste of much electronic on inrainbows and i really miss that ! but the song is absolutely beautiful - let see the final product ! ! !

It’s nice; reminds me mostly of “Analyse” from “The Eraser,” only a bit more elusive. It’s silly to argue that this sounds boring or repetitive; it’s an early version. Plus, they’re minimal melody writers, so a lot of their songs sound the same on guitar or piano. I thought “House of Cards” was the most boring thing they’d ever written ’till I heard the studio version. Point is, once the full band adds their contributions, this’ll sound brilliant.

I don’t hear backdrifts at all. But I do hear Cuttooth. Very much so.

hopefully Thom Yorke’s not one of the people who thinks the LHC is going to destroy the earth. I really really hope he’s not one of those people.

This is utterly horrible. Thom is really off his game here. Videotape was a wonderful piano ballad, but this is just SHIT! Give me back the Radiohead I know and love!

It’s statistically provable that most pop/rock songwriters tend to go into serious decline, once they get to around the age of 40.
At least Thom has almost an album’s worth of old songs he can still use…

It’s too optimistic sounding until the bridge. It really needs work, but then so does nearly every song’s premiere - with the exception of the 2006 tour songs!
By the way, I love most piano songs, including “Sail to the Moon”.

hmmm.. not super impressed, sounds like its still a work in progres…
BUT, anyone who remembers the original “No Surprises” will know that from “Sh*te” can come amazing songs!

I was at this gig. As always Radiohead never disappoint. Here is Super Collider from a different angle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8tpg8xF10k and 30 pictures I took at the event. http://www.flickr.com/photos/flynch/sets/72157605517421811/
ROCK ON RADIOHEAD !

reminds me of U2,in the verse anyway. pretty cool though
bored at work
June 9th, 2008
Very nice - i thought the melody was reminiscent of DITNU, and the rhythm similar to Analyse.
jimbo
June 9th, 2008
Yeah. I think it sounds a bit like Analyze too. However, I like these lyrics better.
And we all know it will sound a lot different (and better) after everyone else from the band is involved, right? Just imagine some great stuff (guitar, electronic bips, strings) from Johnny! Or a sick bassline from Colin! Amazing drums from Phil! Or some cool effect from Ed.

LOL everyone saying oh its sounds like this oh it sounds like that, the thing is it doesnt really sound like anything. NEEDS ALOT OF WORK.
the positive feel of the piano could be a good thing.

Supercollider is a piece of software. It allows users to create their own codes for the shaping of sound. Artists such as Squarepusher and Aphex Twin are rumoured to have used it. As far as I can gather, it can also be used to create that improvised, complicated, glitchy effect on beats, a la Venetian Snares.
It could also be nothing to do with that.
Reasonable song. As mentioned above, I often find that Radiohead songs sound pretty ordinary at first, but evolve into amazing pieces of music. That said, I thought IMBW sounded incredible on pre-Amnesiac live recordings, but poop on Amnesiac.
Thom is flat in toooo many places too.

A nice tune for the most part, except for the bits where Thom doesn’t quite hit the high notes. Sounds like he’s really straining — must’ve been near the end of the night.

It’s not phenomenal but with a little work could be great actually. Certainly got potential.
