The Greatest News In the History Of the World!!!
10 Days.....what happens in 10 days? If you guessed the release of a new Radiohead album then you are correct. Forgoing a label release, Thom and the boys made this statement on their website, Dead Air Space, this morning:
Hello everyone. Well, the new album is finished, and it's coming out in 10 days; We've called it In Rainbows. Love from us all. Jonny
More details, tracklist, pre-order info after the jump...
It has long been known that the Band had been recording new material but without a label deal in place the release of this album was unknown. Now with all these questions answered here is the tracklist:
15 STEP
BODYSNATCHERS
NUDE
WEIRD FISHES/ARPEGGI
ALL I NEED
FAUST ARP
RECKONER
HOUSE OF CARDS
JIGSAW FALLING INTO PLACE
VIDEOTAPE
The album can be pre-purchased only through Radiohead's official sitefor the album as a digital download.
Oddly enough you have the option of choosing your price for the download. Awesome!!!
They also have the option of a discbox which the site lists containing the following:
THIS CONSISTS OF THE NEW ALBUM, IN RAINBOWS, ON CD
AND ON 2 X 12 INCH HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL RECORDS.
A SECOND, ENHANCED CD CONTAINS MORE NEW SONGS, ALONG WITH DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS AND ARTWORK.
THE DISCBOX ALSO INCLUDES ARTWORK AND LYRIC BOOKLETS.
ALL ARE ENCASED IN A HARDBACK BOOK AND SLIPCASE.
Pricing of the Discbox is £40.00 and will ship Dec 3rd.
This is a truly amazing and exciting event in music as one of the biggest bands have decided to forgo the label system and release the album themselves. Other Bands (Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Arctic Monkeys) have done it themselves but none on the level of Radiohead. It is a bold and risky move that will no doubt pay off for the group.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
