Radiohead

Last year we told you about Radiohead working on their eighth album and the follow up to 2007's "In Rainbows". Since then there hasn't been a confirmed release date announced, but that could change sometime this year.

Entertainment Weekly recently sat down with the band's drummer, Philip Selway, to discuss what's going on with their latest creation. “It’s not finished yet, it’s still ongoing. We like where we are so far.”

Selway also added that the band's shenanigans in the studio have been “very productive, very creative sessions. You don’t want to start summing them up, though, until you’ve actually finished. I think that’s when you get the real hindsight on it, and the real flavor of actually what went on.”

Also, what about that confirmed 2010 deadline their guitarist mentioned last month? “Oh, I don’t know. We keep on hitting those points where you think, ‘We’re there.’ And then [later] you think, ‘No, it’s not.’ We’re having a break from it at the moment. I’ll be [promoting Familial], and then we’ll come back to it later in the summer and see where we are.”

If anything, while Radiohead's album may not be released this year, you'll still want to check out Selway's solo album "Familiar" which is released on August 31st!

Last time we heard anything from Radiohead was back in May of 2008 when they self-released their last record, "In Rainbows". Now a year later, the guys have confirmed that they're working on a brand new album. 

The band will be working with their close friend and sound engineer, Nigel Godrich. Bassist Colin Greenwood said it's been going great, "really noisy and chaotic and really fun." You can read this from MuchMusic.com!

In another article, Greenwood talks about the early stages of the project, "it's at the stage where we've got the big Lego box out and we've tipped it out on the floor and we're just looking at all the bits and thinking what's next?"

Also, he spoke on working with Godrich, "I'm very impressed and grateful for Nigel our producer and his ability to make it all sound vaguely plausible."

While at the Great Escape music festival in Brighton, Greenwood helped launch a brand new music journal called Loops. Greenwood gave no hints or clues to when the Oxford natives would release their next LP.

Let's drift away from album news and discuss the subject of tours! Radiohead are said to headline both Reading and Leeds festivals this coming summer. Apparently, the quintet have some unfinished business to put to rest, "it was a bit frustrating when we were playing some of our own shows last year because it was light for the first half hour, 40 minutes of the show. So we wanted to do it as it was mean to be seen-darker and louder," Colin said.

That sounds like it's going to be a great show, we're excited to see what these guys have planned next!

Have a great day Nimrods!
