Radiohead #27 - 5 - 1994

Update: XL have taken down the Instagram post. It was meant to be a behind-the-scenes look at what goes on in their office's screenprinting room. The label apologizes for being misleading.

When last we heard from Radiohead back in November, the band had just hit the studio to begin work on their ninth studio album. In a new interview with Drowned in Sound, drummer Phil Selway offered a brief progress report on the record, saying it was “coming along nicely.”

“We worked throughout the autumn up to just before Christmas,” Selway explained, “and now we’re just taking some time away for other projects.” He added that the band plans to reconvene in March and “we’ll make an assessment of where we are then, but we’ve been excited about what we’ve been doing so far. It’s by no means finished yet, so we’ve got a way to go. It’s been a productive time though.”

Selway wouldn’t give a timetable for the album’s release, saying, “I wouldn’t want to start to predict that kind of thing in a Radiohead schedule because you can find yourself six months down the line saying ‘I wish I hadn’t have said that actually!'”

Whenever it finally does surface, the album will serve as the follow-up to 2011’s The King of Limbs.

You’re off to the studio today. My editor would never forgive me if I didn't ask you what the purpose of that is...

[Laughs] It's a Philip Selway studio day today. It's our last week of rehearsals before we start the live stuff, so we've got sessions booked and then a session with Xfm at the end of the week. There’s a lot of ground to cover this week.

Well, equally, my editor wouldn’t forgive me if I didn't ask how album number nine is progressing with Radiohead...

It's all coming along nicely, thank you! We worked throughout the autumn up to just before Christmas, and now we're just taking some time away for other projects. We'll get back to it in March and we’ll make an assessment of where we are then, but we've been excited about what we've been doing so far. It's by no means finished yet, so we’ve got a way to go. It's been a productive time though.

So you're not even sure if new material might see the light of day this year necessarily? It's just going to be ready when it's ready?

I wouldn't want to start to predict that kind of thing in a Radiohead schedule because you can find yourself six months down the line saying “I wish I hadn't have said that actually!”

Is there at least a general thrust to the music? I remember Ed [O’Brien] saying that when you came together for the sessions that became King of Limbs, Nigel [Godrich] introduced software to you that helped you to trigger and mix samples on the fly, and that informed the layering of material and things went from there. Have you got a similar kind of spark or kernel for how the album might develop?

Well... as we always do, there might be a core thing eventually but we come at it from a number of angles. You don't really know ultimately what's the strongest intention until we've finished. I couldn’t tell you at the moment.

Wow . En dat voor een acht liedjes waarvan de helft de moeite waard is.

Maar alsnog vind ik het gezien de prijs geen miskoop, en een interessant initiatief. Alleen vrees ik dat al het nieuwe Thom Yorke gerelateerde werk (ook Radiohead) niet meer op Spotify zal verschijnen.

Jammer, daar kan hij beter mee stoppen.

The King Of Limbs met with robust criticism from some quarters. “I heard that fucking Radiohead record and I just go, ‘What?!’” said Liam Gallagher, then promoting Different Gear, Still Speeding, the debut album by his post-Oasis band Beady Eye. “I like to think that what we do, we do fucking well. Them writing a song about a fucking tree? Give me a fucking break! You’d have thought he’d have written a song about a modern tree or one that was planted last week. You know what I mean?”
