In a Room With Radiohead

Radiohead
Jason Tate

Adam Thorpe, writing for Times Literary Supplement, after visiting Radiohead while they recorded their recent album:

This is all layers as well, a millefeuille of epochs and moments, and seems perfectly attuned to Radiohead’s methods. We wander out into the grounds: tree-surrounded lawns, large swimming pool, further courtyards and barns, decayed cottages and a softly roaring mill-race. In one of the larger granges, numerous canvases display abstract explosions of colour. The barn’s speakers are wired up to the recording studios: the band’s resident artist Stanley Donwood reacts in acrylic to what he hears, the results to be modified and manipulated on computer for the LP’s cover.

M.G. Siegler, writing on Medium, about the release of Radiohead’s new album and the idea of “up-selling” to your die-hard fans:

But the Radiohead release points to another way forward. One I’m far more excited about as a fan. Distribute broadly, upsell deeply.

That is, put your album out there for all (or most) to hear, but then pull in your truly die-hard fans to buy exclusive content at a premium. That is a natural extension of what Radiohead did in 2007 with In Rainbows. You know, the “pay-what-you-want” album. The clever call out to a soon-to-be-dying model was even more ingenious in hindsight. Now this reality is here.

Follow-up: Radiohead’s Management Release Statement

Radiohead’s management have released a statement after yesterday’s news that the band would have a new album out in June:

At an industry event in London last night Brian Message was asked about new Radiohead music. Quotes attributed to him and taken from his talk have subsequently appeared, describing him as Radiohead’s manager. Brian Message is not Radiohead’s manager – he is a partner in Courtyard Management but plays no operational role, and therefore any quotes from last night’s event, or any supposition arising from them, should not be attributed to Radiohead’s management or be seen as official quotes on behalf of the group.

Radiohead are managed by Chris Hufford and Bryce Edge at Courtyard Management.

Probably one of the few times someone wished Google’s failed April Fools mic drop prank was still functional.

Radiohead Reportedly Film Video With Paul Thomas Anderson

Stefanie Wilder-Taylor reported in a podcast that Radiohead filmed an new music video with Paul Thomas Anderson:

Oh, this happened, I forgot to tell you. So, I’m at home and there’s a knock at the door… there’s a guy with a clipboard. I come to the door with a scowl on my face and the guy says, “Hey, we’re in the neighborhood, we’re going to be shooting a music video.” So now, I’m thinking you’re basically telling me — what happens a lot in my neighborhood, because it’s a very typical suburban-looking neighborhood — I’m gonna be inconvenienced. Then the guy goes, ‘It’s Radiohead,’” Wilder-Taylor continued. “I can’t tell you anything about it. I’m guessing that’s the non-disclosure part. Between us girls, Radiohead — I don’t give a shit, I don’t get it. I’ve heard one song I don’t care about — ‘Creep.’ Yeah, you’re a creep and a loser and you’re putting me to sleep.
