The latest Radiohead album King Of Limbs is pretty brief, which has lead some fans to predict that a companion album would follow it in the near future. Unfortunately BBC 6 Music dashed our hopes when they recently talked to guitarist Ed O’Brien about this seemingly plausible theory.
.
“There are [other] songs that we have started, that we never finished, but there’s not like seven or eight finished songs waiting in the wings to be released now, or in the autumn, or something,” O’Brien explained. “When we start a new record, we tend to start afresh. It’s kind of an evolutionary thing… only the fittest survive.”
.
If you do want to hear some new Radiohead material, you’re going to have to get up early this Saturday and head to your favorite retailer because to celebrate this year’s Record Store Day the band will release a single featuring two new songs: “The Butcher” and “Supercollider.” O’Brien also confirmed that those two tracks are the final songs from the King Of Limb sessions that will be released to the public. (The band have been performing “Supercollider” live for years, but this will be the first time that a studio version of the track will be released.)
.
Then again, this is Radiohead, so for all we know they could have a new double album ready to go next week… or at least that’s what we’re going to keep telling ourselves so we can fall asleep at night.
