New Music Monday: Radiohead
Fans may be anxiously awaiting the arrival of the New Moon Soundtrack, but until then Radiohead has given fans a small taste of what to expect in the future.
In August the band released two songs, nearly simultaneously and for two very different causes.
The band first released “Harry Patch (In Memory of),” a song dedicated to Harry Patch, the oldest British officer to live. Patch, who passed away on July 25 at the age of 111, left a last impression on the band. Although the download is not free, the proceeds go to Royal British Lesion, an organization that helps surviving British soldiers.
A week later Radiohead released a free single titled “These are my Twisted Words.” The band put the song up after it leaked.
“So here’s a new song, called These Are My Twisted Words,” they wrote on their official blog. “We’ve been recording for a while, and this was one of the first we finished. We’re pretty proud of it. There’s other stuff in various states of completion, but this is one we’ve been practising, and which we’ll probably play at this summer’s concerts. Hope you like it.”
Rumors circulated that it was just one of a number of songs set for an EP called, “Walls of Ice.” However, the band quickly put these rumors to rest. Get your copy here .
