Is a new Radiohead EP on its way?

Posted on August 13th, 2009.

Radiohead are currently in the studio rehearsing for their upcoming festival appearances at the end of August, but with last night’s leak of ‘These Are My Twisted Words‘ there are some hints that something is on its way.

In an interview with The Australian, Jonny Greenwood said that Radiohead are still recording songs: “There’s a bunch of stuff slowly growing, some more finished than others.” The fact that not everything is finished, does not rule out a release. Jonny continues: “Traditionally we’d be looking for 10 or 11 songs and putting them together, but that doesn’t feel as natural as it used to, so I don’t know what we’ll do. Maybe we’ll find four songs that work together and we’ll call that a release. I don’t know. No one knows how to release music any more, including us,” he says. “How to put it together, in what format, how long. We’re in the dark as much as anyone I think.”

Last week we reported about Thom Yorke’s interview with the Believer where he stated that Radiohead are done with releasing full lenght albums for a while. Thom Yorke: “None of us want to go into that creative hoo-ha of a long-play record again. Not straight off. I mean, it’s just become a real drag. It worked with “In Rainbows” because we had a real fixed idea about where we were going. But we’ve all said that we can’t possibly dive into that again. It’ll kill us.”

Thom and Jonny’s quotes, the recent work in the studio and last night’s leak might point to a release sooner rather than later. ‘These Are My Twisted Words’ might be one of those four tracks Jonny mentioned. In the source files of the track that ended up on the message board, the title ‘Wall Of Ice’ was found twice as well as a release date of August 17, 2009. A digital release of Radiohead’s ‘Wall Of Ice EP’ this Monday, anyone?

people are blowing the believer interview way out of proportion. they want to do some smaller projects before taking on another full-length album, but that was just one of several ideas he was knocking around in the interview.

We should stop taking media quotes seriously.

or at least we need to learn how to analyze quotes better without jumping to conclusions. and i'm not trying to jump on sdldawn here, he's just quoting a story, but i see this happen all the time. someone in an interview says "i might kinda sorta be doing this" and then the media is like "OMFG HE SAID HE IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE DOING THIS AND HE SWORE ON HIS MOTHER'S GRAVE OMG OMG OMFG!!!!"

world, relax.

Yeah, reminds me of a brother of a certain famous musical family that kept saying the reunion word and the media running with it... lol

i'm just the messenger

Sdldawn said:

Anx wasn't saying that to you, just in general.

I welcome this project.. i like the loose atmospheric feel of that song

Sdldawn said:

i know, i know

i mentioned as much in another comment i posted, scroll down a bit.

decent (if somewhat "uneventful") new track . it would totally suck if they NEVER did another album , but i doubt that'll happen . new shit is new shit . a new 4 or 5 song ep every few months wouldn't be bad at all

i love the EP title "wall of ice" please let it be released monday

This is great news! Always excited about new Radiohead music. Heck I'm still digging In Rainbows!
Digging the new track. Uptempo, atmospheric dark and moody. Nice.

the future of music is changing

Radiohead and NIN have embraced the internet

c'mon Prince.....Get on the Boat!!!!!

I believe he's made similar comments about doing EPs in the past.

NoVideo said:

yeah, i read the whole interviews and he was throwing out a lot of ideas. the vibe i got was that they just didn't have a strong concept for a full album right now, but they had a lot of other ideas for recording/releasing new music that they want to try out in the meantime. there was one idea that he said he couldn't even discuss, but it somehow tied in music with art/visuals.

I'd welcome a move away from albums. An EP release every several months or so is not a bad idea.

looks like details (small) are unfolding.

Sdldawn said:

i'm still hoping for an EP on monday..

Sdldawn said:

ugh... some dumb f--ks have too much time on their hands.

at least Radiohead hasn't came out and said it wasn't true.. that might be a good/positive thing about the release..

Anxiety said:

Sdldawn said:

stereogum.com - someone just posted it in the comments.

this showed up on radioheads website..


and it was apart of the aiscc (whatever) art with that song file..


hmmm

that file was added on 8/15/09!!!!!

Sdldawn said:

where did you see that? the latest new entry on the radiohead site that
i can find is the one about the harry patch song

ok, "these are my twisted words" is now available from the digital section
of the waste.uk.com shop, free of charge.

the file comes complete with artwork and an adobe acrobat artwork file you
can print out on tracing paper to make the images overlap.

as always, artwork by donwood and extremely cool imo.

listening to the song now.
