Your support makes all the difference.Radiohead’s hotly-awaited new album has finally been given a release date.
The as-yet-untitled LP will drop digitally at 7pm on Sunday 8 May before a release in all physical formats follows on Friday 17 June.
The band shared their first new song “Burn the Witch” earlier this week, and have now made another, the hauntingly ambient “Daydreaming” available online.
There Will Be Blood director Paul Thomas Anderson is behind the track’s music video, as was widely rumoured, and you can watch it here:
Radiohead teased the Friday afternoon announcement earlier in the day by posting a clip of frontman Thom Yorke strolling through a multi-storey car park.
Fans are speculating that the new album will be called Dawn Chorus after the band set up a new company with the same name in October 2015. Yorke mentioned an unfinished song called “Dawn Chorus” in an interview from 2009, while the first Sunday of May is known as International Dawn Chorus Day.
