The band "putting ideas together".Radiohead regrouped last week, returning to the studio to begin assembling ideas for a new album.
A posting on the band's official website (which had remained silent until last week) by frontman Thom Yorke revealed the band have begun to take tentative steps at recording sessions for the new set, the follow up to 2003's "Hail To The Thief".
"We are going into a proper studio on thursday (for a leettle while)," he wrote Wednesday, August 16, "with 192 faders, which is a lot of choice, a bit like the supermarket
"It may all go off before we get to it, so we have to eat quick. Ee will post more when we get there."
More details emerged today, with a series of postings culminating in a short message posted Sunday morning giving details of a potential new track, dubbed "piggsee or pigs ear". A photograph shows a lyric sheet, with a chorus which reads "You made a pigs ear/you made a mistake/paid off security/and got through the gate/you got away with it/but we lie in wait".
Yorke also posts more details on the unnamed studio complex the band are stationed at, revealing: "we are staying in a very old house, the rooms move. their are noises.the music is a pulse thick and black oil slick the tides are high", which hints at the possibility the band are back in the studio used for "Kid A".
Speaking to Billboard last week, a spokesperson for the band's management company, Courtyard, revealed that band were "putting some ideas together" to "see where they want to go with the next step musically."
It is also unclear as to their direction in signing a new label deal. After completing their album deal with EMI Records, with 2003's "Hail TO The Thief", although a posting, which was subsequently deleted, on the website by Yorke added: "What we would like is the old EMI back again, the nice genteel arms manufacturers who treated music a nice side project [and] weren't [too] bothered about the shareholders." This post has since been removed from the site.
