Radiohead to record NEW ALBUM this winter

Posted on October 7th, 2009.

There’s been a lot of speculation on Radiohead’s next album. Would it ever be recorded? Or would be just get digital tracks, EP’s or whatever made the press. Ed O’Brien confirmed that a new Radiohead album (yes, album) is in the making.

It was the interview in The Believer that kick-started a lot of rumours on Radiohead’s future. Thom Yorke told the magazine: “None of us want to go into that creative hoo-ha of a long-play record again.(…) But we’ve all said that we can’t possibly dive into that again. It’ll kill us.” The news hit the press worldwide.

Radiohead have spent this Summer in the studio, releasing tracks online like ‘Harry Patch (In Memory Of)’ and ‘These Are My Twisted Words’. This sort of seemed like they were serious about not releasing albums in the future. But guitarist Ed O’Brien has confirmed that the band is in fact interested in recording more albums and the follow-up to ‘In Rainbows’ is actually in the making.

Ed O’Brien told NME that with sessions planned this winter the band would “definitely” be releasing a full album physically next year.
“We were misquoted,” claimed O’Brien of Yorke’s comments, loudly adding, “WE WILL BE MAKING AN ALBUM!” Although he said the band hadn’t decided how it would be released, he said the album would come out on vinyl and CD whether it first arrived as a download or not.

“We love the artwork; that’s really important, the physicality,” he explanied. “And we all like vinyl. That’s not going to go away. I still like CDs as well. I got the Speech Debelle CD the other day – I nearly downloaded it from iTunes but I thought, ‘No. I want the physical thing.’”

O’Brien wouldn’t be drawn on specific tracks, but suggested that recent free download ‘There Are My Twisted Words’ was not a marker for the album.

On releasing ‘These Are My Twisted Words’ online he said: “It’s a kind of one-off. It could have been a darker side of ‘In Rainbows’ – it’s got that autumnal vibe, we’re leaving the summer and going into the darkness.”

He added that with Radiohead set to reconvene in their Oxfordshire studio this winter, the season might similarly affect the new songs. “Typical Radiohead,” he laughed. “We’re going into the studio in winter. It’s always miserable! Are we at the whim of the seasons? We are! When you’re in a studio in the countryside, the music you make is definitely affected by what season it is.”

1. Lotus Flower (added beatbox)
2. Disposition (new rockout one)
3. Open Floodgates
4. Super Collider
5. Burn The Witch
6. Judge, Jury…
7. Come To Your Senses
8. Magpie
9. Skirting On The Surface
10. Harry Patch (band version)

Thinking about it, Skirting is probably b-side material and Judge & Jury may stick to being a Thom band only. Fuck knows.

I wish that they record this new album and not one song will be available before the whole thing sees the light of day. I kind of miss this feeling of expectation, because with a couple of previous records you expected the album, but kind of knew what will be on it. Anyway, this news made my day.

Potential LP8 Tracks/B-sides

Big Boots
Burn the Witch
Dawn Chorus
Follow Me Around
Give Up Ghost
I Froze Up
I Lie Awake
Judge, Jury & Executioner
Lift
Lotus Flower
Morning Mi Lord/Good Morning Mr. Magpie
Open the Floodgates
The Present Tense
“Riding a Bullet”
Skirting on the Surface
Super Collider
True Love Waits
“Wake Me (Before They Come)”

I am confident we will get either Follow Me Around or Big Boots for LP8. If we get one, the other will likely follow for LP9. Meeting People Is Easy had HTDC (Kid A), LIAGH (Amnesiac), I Will (HTTT) and Nude (IR). It also had the two other songs which haven’t been released. There’s a chance Spooks could been worked into something, or a full band Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses could be in the making, but those two possibilities are doubtful.

We might also see the release of a studio True Love Waits, or Lift, or I Froze Up, or Morning Mi Lord.

And we’ll probably get the bulk of the new material that has been previewed through soundchecks and shows. Thanks to citizeninsane for a list of likely songs.

[...] Well, there you have it – 2010 already looks like a fine year for music! [via ateasweb] [...]

People should just forget FMA, Big Boots, Lift etc. FMA in particular will be dead now that Lotus Flower is around. The verse of that is pretty much a rewrite of FMA. FMA has always been a fun little song that perhaps would fit if they did another Pablo or Bends-style record, which they won’t.

Present Tense definitely. IMO that is one of the BIG definite songs for LP8, much like 15 Step, Bodysnatchers and Videotape were for LP7 when we first heard them. Super Collider is looking very promising too. It would be surprising if it wasn’t on there. Everything else is up in the air IMO.
