Radiohead's new album
Radiohead's new album
From the folks at Pitchfork:
Radiohead are reportedly already at work on the follow-up to last year's Amnesi
ac, scheduling studio time in May and publishing some teasing lyric fragments o
n their official website. Rather than sequestering themselves in the studio as
on the mammoth sessions that begat Kid A and Amnesiac, Radiohead hope to use th
e sessions to bang out some demos before roadtesting the new material on select
live dates later this summer. Sources told Pitchfork the sessions will likely
be engineered by Graeme Stewart, who lent a hand on both Kid A and Amnesiac, as
well as producing the highly experimental Amnesiac b-sides. The band is likely
to reteam with Nigel Godrich for more recording further down the road.
While little is known about the new material aside from a handful of tunes spor
adically previewed on the Amnesiac tour, one need only examine the band's curre
nt listening diet to deduce the future direction of Radiohead. Or not: "We're l
istening to a lot of guitar music at the moment," guitarist Ed O'Brien told Wor
ldpop. "I like a lot of the new bands like Electric Soft Parade." Of course, Ed
also dropped the names of the White Stripes and the Strokes, and he's been say
ing the next Radiohead album is going to have a big guitar sound since, well, s
ince 1997. Thom Yorke, meanwhile, has been listening to equal doses of Tim Buck
ley and glitch. Guitarist/keyboardist Jonny Greenwood has been learning both ac
cordian and trumpet. In fact, the guys have been stocking up on all manner of "
software, strange instruments, and synths" for the new recordings, according to
our sources.
Among the new-ish material performed on the Amnesiac tour were the anthemic "Re
ckoner" (a hooky riff-rocker in its sole performance last year-- who knows how
it'll turn out once Yorke sics his ProTools on it), "Follow Me Around," a holdo
ver from the post-OK Computer period, and "Wicked Child," performed exactly onc
e on a webcast, only to disappear, erm... completely. The official Radiohead si
te recently posted several lyrics and lyric fragments from the works in progres
s, with bits of "Reckoner," "Bring on the New Blood," "Keep the Wolf from the D
oor," and "Up on the Ladder" among other, untitled snippets of Yorkespeak.
Jonny Greenwood has also been recording some original music for a documentary a
bout the human body with "assistance" from the band, and there have been mutter
ings about a potential Radiohead b-sides compilation being prepared for a summe
r 2002 release in the U.S.
