Thom Yorke
Uber indie frontman Thom York announced via Radiohead’s blog that more of his work would soon be made available to the masses thirsty for the band’s songwriting talents. The two new singles are called : “Feeling pulled apart by Horses” and “The Hollow Earth” Here’s what Radioheads’s post said:
“This is to inform you of the release of two more bits of work shortly. They are loosely under the Thom Yorke name this time, although these days its all getting kind of blurry. Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses is written & played by Jonny and I and is a radical rework of an old tune thats been kicking around without a home since 2001? i think. The Hollow Earth is a bass menace that was born out of the Eraser period but needed a little more time.”
The official release date for the two tunes which were produced byNigel Godrich and mastered by Bob Ludwigis October 6th, Thom reveals. They’ll be released on 12″ with sliced sleeve from Stanley and Tchok and will be available from September 21 from the w.a.s.t.e section of the Radiohead website, accompanied by a free download.
Yorke has also announced that there will be a video released for his cover of Mark Mulcahy’s ‘All For The Best’.Directed by Melinda Tupling, the video will be premiered at a September 20th benefit concert for ‘Ciao My Shining Star: The Songs of Mark Mulcahy‘ which will be released on September 29 in the US.
The concert is scheduled to be held at the hippster mecca “Music Hall of Williamsburg” in Brooklyn NY, and will feature performances by Frank Black and David Berkely as well appearances of Winterpills, The Gravel Pit and The Mericans.
Yorke’s brother Andy was in on the track and also worked on the the title track to the album. ‘All For The Best‘ will be available in the UK as a single with a limited number of 7″ made available.
