Forget the fact that Thom Yorke said in the press earlier this year that Radiohead wouldn’t be making any more albums.
To the contrary, guitarist Ed O’Brien told NME last week that the band “will be making an album” and that Yorke was misquoted when he told reporters, “None of us want to go into that creative hoo-ha of a long-play record again… It’ll kill us.”
“We’re going into the studio in winter,” says O’Brien.“It’s always miserable. When you’re in a studio in the countryside the music you make is definitely affected by what season it is.”
O’Brien says the weather won’t be the only thing impacting the recording.
“We love the artwork. That’s really important to us, the physicality. And we like vinyl. That’s not going to go away.”
Radiohead’s last album, In Rainbows, was released digitally in October 2007 and physically in the U.S. in January 2008.
