Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood Discusses the Band’s New Album

Radiohead is currently at work on the follow-up to 2011′s King of Limbs. Now, in a recent interview with Dutch music site 3voor12 unearthed by Reddit users and translated by a user at Radiohead fan site At Ease, Jonny Greenwood discussed the band’s progress (via Consequence of Sound). “We didn’t do anything together for too long, so restarting took a lot of time,” he said. “We’re working in periods now.” 

Greenwood said the band was reshaping “Lift”, a song that dates back to 1996. He compared it to “Nude” from 2007′s In Rainbows, which circulated for years before making its way onto a record, and said that there’s “a very old song” on each Radiohead album.

“We never found the right arrangement for ["Nude"], until then,” he said. “‘Lift’ is just like that. When the idea is right, it stays right. It doesn’t really matter in which form.”
