Listen To Two New Thom Yorke Tracks (That He Made For A Fashion Show)

So hey, remember how Radiohead had a pretty busy September last year? Turns out there was even more going on than we thought. As Pitchfork reports, frontman Thom Yorke had put together some new original tracks that month as well... to soundtrack models walking the catwalk at clothing line Rag & Bone's fashion show. Yep.

Check out said new tracks, "Stuck Together" and "The Twist," below. Longtime FN fans may remember that "The Twist" also showed up on Yorke's "Money Back" mix that he premiered on Mary Ann Hobbs' XFM show around the same time, but this is an updated/alternate version.

Seeing as Yorke has already revealed to Rolling Stone that both Radiohead AND Atoms For Peace have new material coming up sometime soonish, these make for additional interesting glimpses as to where Yorke might be headed. Of course we're going to keep our eyes on it.

WELL HOLY SHIT: Radiohead Set To Record New Material In December & January

The TV appearances, the mindblowing (and hard to get into) NYC shows, the multiple radio appearances... this is likely the most we've seen of Radiohead in the public eye in any year of the band's history, and it's been completely great. And now I have to give Rolling Stone kudos for a second time in as many days, as their new interview with frontman Thom Yorke concluded with the following:

"Radiohead are returning to the studio as well. They will work on new material at their recording space in Oxford, England, in December and January. 'We can get things together quite rapidly at the moment,' Yorke says brightly. He mentions one song, 'Come to Your Senses.' 'We have this version of it. It's a five-minute rehearsal, but it has the essence of what we need...' 'There are a few of those,' he adds. 'It would be fun to have them ready when we go to play next year. I don't know how we would release them.' Yorke smiles hopefully. 'It would be nice to make it all part of the flow and just enjoy it – not think about it too much.'"


That's right, kids. NEW RADIOHEAD MATERIAL, which we'll hopefully get a taste of early next year. Thom also mentions Atoms For Peace and the follow-up to his solo album The Eraser, which is "in flux" and apparently waiting for a bolt of genius to strike it. Betting that won't take long at all either.

Pardon me while I do a little happy dance.

Thom Yorke Confirms 2012 Radiohead Tour, New Atoms For Peace Album

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke seems to really enjoy being on the radio these days. Fresh off of dropping by Mary Ann Hobb's XFM show to drop a new mix and do "The Twist," he popped back on the air last night to hang out with Gilles Peterson on his BBC Radio 1 show, spin records, aaaaand confirm a 2012 Radiohead tour and a new Atoms For Peace album.

Yup. Like bandmate Ed O'Brien before him, Thom noted that the band will be setting up tour dates throughout what might be the last year of civilization, if you believe the Mayans. AND, his Atoms For Peace side project (which we last saw in 2010 rocking through Thom's solo release The Eraser with, uh,  Flea) is putting the finishing touches on a new album. As weird as it sounds, I caught their show on that tour and it was very legitimately cool, so very curious about what this new Atoms For Peace album will sound like.

Listen to the whole radio show over here, and keep on spazzing about that upcoming Radiohead NYC Takeover.
