does anyone else think its been kind of odd how radiohead and its frontman thom yorke have been sort of randomly releasing music left and right as of late? lets see, just in the past month or two, theres been the release of “harry patch (in memory of)”, the charity track written in memory of, you guessed it, harry patch, who was the last surviving uk veteran of WWI who passed away at the age of 111. then there was the completely random leak/release of the new radiohead track “these are my twisted words”, which didnt seem to be tied to anything at all. and then theres the weird upcoming radiohead track on the “new moon” soundtrack.
the latest is the release of a thom yorke single that contains two tracks, “feeling pulled apart by horses” and “the hollow earth”. after listening to both of these tracks, all im going to say is that maybe i need to give them a few more listens. but on first glance i liked “the hollow earth” a bit more. but this begs the question — does this mean that there is a new thom yorke album on the horizon? i was pretty obsessed with his first computer-laden solo album “the eraser”, always finding a new favorite song that i listened to on repeat, the latest of which was “cymbal rush”, which i fell in love with after seeing thom play it solo as the first song of the encore during the webcast of their show at the Santa Barbara Bowl last summer. its getting hard to keep track of all of these one off releases, so hopefully it all means that some sort of album in some form is coming soon.
Thanks for sharing this! Thom is a crazy genius – hope he comes out with a full album soon! Great find!!!
