Welcome! This is
the page where we will summarize all we know about the
next Radiohead release. The new album has not been named
nor has a specific date been announced for its release.
Phil Selway was asked about Radiohead’s future:
"It’s not very rock and roll, but we all
have families, so we’ll be with them until at
least the end of summer. We need to press the reset
button on everything before we work out what to do next.
We’ve no new songs, not one.”
There’s been talk that Radiohead’s next
release would be a series of EP’s rather than
an album. What does Phil have to say about that? “Sorry”,
he chuckles. “Again, we simply don’t know.
We could do the EP’s, we may do an album, it could
be a regular release, it might be just via the web.
After a year in tour, we need to not think about the
band for a couple of months.”
And the BBC has more, this time from Ed-
"We just haven't made any firm plans about what
we're going to do yet. We just wanted to get this past
year out of our systems then sit down and once we've
had some time to think about it, then actually make
some decisions about what comes next."
"We're just recharging our batteries and we know
that we want to come back and make some music together,
hopefully in the not-too-distant future. But we just
want to take our time and make sure it's the right time
for us."
Update March 8, 2005:
As you may or may not know, Radiohead is out of contract
with EMI Records and has no obligation to release any
more albums.
Our sources at Radiohead's US label, Capitol Records,
have told us that they are asking Radiohead to record
one more album as a favor to them since Capitol did
them a favor by releasing the last Supergrass album.
Supergrass and Radiohead share the same management,
Courtyard Management. Whether or not another Radiohead
album is released by Capitol still is unknown at the
time.
On March 8, 2005, Thom told the official Radiohead
messageboard that "hey weve started work."
Does this mean the band are starting work on a new album
or release? We think so...
Update May 13, 2005:
We have been told that the band are well under way
with the recording process. They all got together in
their Oxford studio in January to "jam" through
some new songs, most of them by Thom that were new to
the rest of the band. The mood in the studio has been
descibed as "unorganized" and quite different
than the way Radiohead usually records.
We've also been told that Radiohead have been playing
around with 15 songs and that two of them were "already
done and amazing."
The new album should be completed by December with
a possible February or March 2006 release. A tour could
start as early as February. |
