Radiohead Have Recorded "Shitloads" Of Material, Plan To Tour in 2016
Radiohead spent the month of September holed up in the studio working on their ninth studio album. It appears the sessions were a success, as guitarist Jonny Greenwood has told a Russian radio station that the band has all but finished the record.
“We have finished recording of the new album but we keep reevaluating the work we’ve done,” the You And Whose Army hitmaker, 43, told Russia’s Silver Radio (via Reddit). “We hope we’ll get it right soon, and after that we’ll start planning the next year’s tour.”
"It's a return to first loves, first struggles, just five guys learning about themselves and the world on the streets of Dublin, I mean Oxford."
Update: Greenwood has clarified his comments on Twitter. The Radiohead guitarist said lots of material has been recorded and “the band is about to go through it all to see if it’s any good.” Additionally, he said the band hopes to tour, but no plans have been confirmed.
Update: Thom and Colin have tweeted that upon going through it, it's not any good, so there won't be an album after all. "Things can get muddled in translation, especially into Russian and then back into English," Yorke, 49, explained. "What Jonny was trying to say was that if we'd actually finished a new album, hypothetically, then it would make sense that we'd be touring it in 2016. It's a hypothetical."
"Итак, у нас в гостях Джонни Гринвуд и Роберт Эймс! Следующий час - эксклюзивное интервью для Серебряного Дождя перед вечерним, единственным концертом в Москве! Слушайте и смотрите на silver.ru
скорее! " Johnny exclaimed.
