Radiohead Announce New Album Release Date, Share "Daydreaming" Video
At long last, it’s here: Radiohead have finally announced their ninth album. The follow-up to 2011′s The King of Limbs is out digitally this Sunday, May 8, at 7 p.m. UK time (2 p.m. Eastern time), and physically June 17. It’s being released via XL Recordings. The album title has not been revealed yet. Earlier this morning, Radiohead teased their second new video in the space of a week, following Tuesday’s “Burn the Witch.” Now, they’ve shared the clip for new single “Daydreaming” in full. (“Daydreaming” is also available now on streaming services.) Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, it features Thom Yorke, looking unsettled, opening lots of doors that lead to various locations, including a hospital, a laundromat, and a grocery store. Check it out below.
At the end of the video, Yorke says something indecipherable. When the audio is isolated, reversed, and sped up, it appears he says something like “every minute, half of my love.” Listen to that isolated audio here. It’s not the first time the end of a Radiohead video has featured indecipherable speech: The video for “Just” does something similar.
Guitarist Jonny Greenwood has spent much of his time between Radiohead projects collaborating with Anderson, scoring the director’s films Inherent Vice, The Master, and There Will Be Blood. Inherent Vice featured “Spooks,” a song written by Radiohead and performed by Supergrass. Most recently, Anderson directed a documentary based around Greenwood’s album with Israeli composer Shye Ben Tzur, Junun.
