Radiohead guitarist Ed O’Brien has revealed the band are planning to release their new album before the end of this year.

Speaking to BBC 6Music, O’Brien stated their work on the follow-up to 2007’s ‘In Rainbows‘ is nearly complete. “We’re in the heart of the record,” he said. “It’s genuinely exciting. It’s very different from what we did last time. It’s really nice to be doing this. It’s so good to be making music with the band that you feel is still as good as it’s ever been.”

Later, O’Brien spoke of his desire for the new LP to be released as soon as possible, so as to continue the momentum after their recording sessions. “Ideally, it would be great if it came out sometime this year. It has got to,” he claimed. “I hope so. We’re at the finishing line. When you’re making a record, a film, writing a book for ages and ages you think the finishing line is miles away. Now it feels it’s in touching distance. But of course, it being a creative process, at the last bit also, you have bursts of energy, you achieve a lot of things in a small period of time and then you’re nearly there… it might slow down. But yeah, hopefully it will be a matter of weeks.”

Radiohead are thought to be putting the finishing touches to their new album with long-term cohort Nigel Godrich.
