Remember how Thom Yorke said Radiohead was going to take a break from recording albums? Think again. Radiohead guitarist Ed O’Brien told NME recently that the band will release a new album in 2010. It is doubtful that it will be a pay-what-you-want online release a la 2007’s In Rainbows, as O’Brien expressed a desire to make the album available physically.
“We love the artwork; that’s really important, the physicality,” O’Brien said. “And we all like vinyl. That’s not going to go away. I still like CDs as well. I got the Speech Debelle CD the other day – I nearly downloaded it from iTunes but I thought, ‘No. I want the physical thing.’”
O’Brien says the band will begin recording this Winter but did not give an estimate for a release date. As always, onethirtyBPM will keep you updated on the band’s progress.
