Thom Yorke Tired of Crazy Album Release Strategies: “I’m Getting Too Old”

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has said in a new interview with Benji B on BBC Radio 1 that he’s had enough of figuring out non-traditional ways to release music. Radiohead’s seventh studio album In Rainbows made waves with its “pay-what-you-want” release, and Yorke’s most recent solo album Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes was put out through peer-to-peer download company BitTorrent. When asked about the release of Boxes, Yorke replies, “Ugh, yeah, again… Enough of that now. I’ve entirely had enough of that… Just put it out, man. No more fuss, just put it out. I’m getting too old for that bit. It takes away from things a bit, sometimes frustrating.” He goes on, “The energy of trying to figure out how to do it differently and circumvent the monsters and you’re like… whatever.” Listen to a snippet of the interview below. Yorke will co-host Benji B’s Radio 1 show tonight from 1AM—4AM GMT.
