Last year Radiohead announced that they were no longer making albums and from now on would be releasing songs in small batches. They then went back on their word and released The King of Limbs, but even that was a relatively short album. Following that album, Radiohead now seem to be making good on that promise since then we received “Supercollider”/”The Butcher” 12″ on Record Store Day and now we’re getting “Staircase”/”The Daily Mail” on December 19th.
The versions that will come with the single are the versions that were recorded on their From The Basement session this past summer. The whole session is also seeing release, digitally on December 19th and on DVD.Blu-Ray at the end of January.
