New Radiohead album nearly complete
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 22 June 2010
Radiohead guitarist Ed O’Brien has revealed that the band are “a matter of weeks” away from completing work on their eighth solo album. He also said that the music on it is a change in direction from 2007’s ‘In Rainbows’.
Appearing on BBC 6music show, ‘Adam Buxton’s Big Mixtape’, O’Brien said: “Ideally, it’d be great if it came out sometime this year. It’s got to. I hope so. We’re at the studio at the moment. We’re in the heart of the record. 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”.
He added that the album is not only musically different to ‘In Rainbows’, but that the process of recording that album caused the band to change the way they approach recording altogether. He said: “[Recording ‘In Rainbows’] was such a slog. We decided at the end of the record never to do it like this again. That was kind of the end of Radiohead mark two”.
