Thom Yorke Makes Another Last Minute Announcement
The Radiohead frontman just casually announced and premiered his newest collaboration with electro producers Burial & Four Tet on the radio.
You never can predict what Thom Yorke will do next. He seems to be constantly popping up from out of nowhere yelling "Surprise! Look what I've done this time!" Dropping in to London radio station Rinse FM for a chat this week, he casually announced, and then proceeded to premiere, his new collaboration with electronic producers Burial & Four Tet. The Radiohead frontman has made a bit of a habit of announcing things last minute lately, what with the spontaneous release of King of Limbs last month.
Yorke has been at the cutting edge of electronic music for a long while, and so coming together with Four Tet & Burial is an electro marriage made in heaven. The tracks are being released as a 12" split single, entitled 'Ego' and 'Mirror.' Fans didn't even have time to get themselves a copy before the official release date on March 21, with pre-orders inexplicably selling out before the announcement of its release.
Thom Yorke has previously produced amazing work outside of Radiohead, with his chart-topping solo album Eraser, incredible collaborations with artists such as PJ Harvey, and 2010's launch of new band Atoms For Peace, alongside members of Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Forro In The Dark. This collaboration with Burial and Four Tet follows the trend, with the ethereal sounds and haunting vocals prompting something close to sensory overload.
