As they did with In Rainbows, prog-pop paranoiacs Radiohead just announced a new album with no lead-up, countdown or fanfare. The King of Limbs is their eighth album. The details of the release are listed below. I’m curious to see how their sound will have changed (if at all) after the Ink Spots-inspired, heavily orchestrated In Rainbows, and needless to say I pre-ordered the vinyl edition, because of course I would.
The cryptic “perhaps” aside might mean nothing, or maybe it means we’ll get something before Saturday. Either way, this is pretty exciting news!
Radiohead’s new record, The King Of Limbs, is presented here as the world’s first* Newspaper Album, comprising:
- Two clear 10″ vinyl records in a purpose-built record sleeve.
- A compact disc.
- Many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork and a full-colour piece of oxo-degradeable plastic to hold it all together.
- The Newspaper Album comes with a digital download that is compatible with all good digital media players.
- The Newspaper Album will be shipped on Monday 9th May 2011 you can, however, enjoy the download on Saturday 19th February 2011.
