Thom Yorke

...a solo

Avançada pelo site do costume - Greenplastic - e reforçado pela Pitchfork, chega-nos a notícia de que Thom Yorke está prestes a lançar um álbum a solo que dá corpo a um desejo de longa data. Segundo as palavras do próprio Yorke, o disco será de feição mais electrónica permitindo-lhe dar azo às suas mais rebeldes extravagâncias de composição.
A Pitchfork avança com uma data, 11 de Julho; um nome : The Eraser e até mesmo um alinhamento :

The Eraser
Analyse
The Clock
Black Swan
Skip Divided
Atoms for Peace
And It Rained All Night
Harrowdown Hill
Cymbal Rush

A nota que Thom publicou no W.A.S.T.E. corrobora as informações:

“this is just a note to say that something has been kicking around in the background that i have not told you about.its called The Eraser.nigel produced & arranged it .i wrote and played it.the elements have been kicking round now for a few years and needed to be finished & i have been itching to do something like this for ages.it was fun and quick to do.inevitably it is more beats & electronics.but its songs.stanley did the cover.yes its a record!no its not a radiohead record.as you know the band are now touring and writing new stuff and getting to a good space so i want no crap about me being a traitor or whatever splitting up blah blah...this was all done with their blessing. and i don't wanna hear that word solo. doesnt sound right.ok then thats that.

i think its out in july and im pretty certain XL are going to put it out.
love thom “

Veremos quantas destas previsões estarão efectivamente correctas, mas ao que tudo indica o solo album sairá de facto primeiro que o novo álbum dos Radiohead, ainda com data e nome incógnitos, apesar da especulação voar com rédea solta na blogosfera...
