Two songs confirmed by Thom Yorke
Remember those two songs that were said to be Thom Yorke solo pieces that are coming out on 12″ vinyl on September 21st? Well they’ve officially been confirmed by Thom himself.
The lead singer of Radiohead took to the band’s official website, Dead Air Space, to release a statement on the songs “The Hollow Earth” and “Apart by Horses” and how they’ll be released:
“FeelingPulledApartbyHorses is written & played by Jonny and I and is a radical rework of an old tune thats been kicking around without a home since 2001? i think. The Hollow Earth is a bass menace that was born out of the Eraser period but needed a little more time. Both were produced by Nigel Godrich as ever. And mastered by Bob Ludwig. They are being put out on 12″ with sliced sleeve by Stanley and Tchock. My sources tell me this will be available from the 21st of September if you’re interested.. On sale in the w.a.s.t.e part of our website (with a gratis download.) Or you can go buy it in a good record shop if you are lucky enough to have one near you. Then later on there will be like a normal download thing i think around the 6th of Oct through the usual channels.”
So even though the songs will be available as digital downloads, pre-ordering them on vinyl will get you a free download which is always cool. Up top is a version of “Apart by Horses” that Thom performed acoustically back in 2005. The song used to be known as “Reckoner” but since that showed up on In Rainbows this new tune will now stand on its own. Also if Thom Yorke were to pick a stage name, his options are in the video down below. Pretty funny.
