Ed O'Brien: "New Radiohead album to likely be completed in matter of weeks"

There’s a reason why we included the “always present threat for a new Radiohead album” in our recent “35 More Albums to Buy in 2010″ list”: because there really is an always present threat for a new Radiohead album, a reality that guitarist Ed O’Brien again affirmed when he recently appeared on the BBC radio program Adam Buxton’s Big Mixtape.

“Ideally, it’d be great if it came out sometime this year. It’s got to. I hope so,” O’Brien answered when asked by Buxton when the band’s followup to 2007’s In Rainbows will be released.

He explained that “We’re at the studio at the moment… we’re in the heart of the record,” but added “the finishing line… it’s in touching distance” and, barring any last minute problems, the record will likely be completed in “a matter of weeks.”

O’Brien would give no real specifics, but did feel confident enough to say “I’m really excited… I feel like this is the best record we ever made. It really is genuinely exciting. It’s very different from what we did last time.”
