We’re hearing that they are already hard to get hold of, although at the time of writing some are available here. You also get a gimmicky sounding “recording tape belly band” which is an actual piece Radiohead half-inch master tape, that they actually recorded on, in an actual recording session… you get the idea.Īs an exception, just for ‘indie’ record shops, an opaque 2LP white vinyl edition of A Moon Shaped Pool is also being made available. 25.3K subscribers Subscribe 35K 1.7M views 5 years ago This video features Radiohead's 'Spectre' set against the main title sequence from the James Bond film of the same name.

After learning of the rejection, the band unlocks the cage and allows “Spectre,” swooping, soaring strings and all, to take flight, free for once and free for all.Radiohead released A Moon Shaped Pool, their ninth studio album, yesterday. On Christmas morning 2015, Radiohead fans will awaken to a gift via the band and, curiously, Soundcloud. Ouch and ouch.Īll shall not be lost, however. In an epic feat of disregard for the art of filmmaking AND the art of music, the production team offered Radiohead the back seat, and handed the keys to something named Sam Smith, a fellow Brit who claimed to not know who Radiohead is. As Benjamin Franklin famously said, ‘He who is good at making excuses is seldom good at anything else.’ But the folks in the Bond camp still have some salt to disperse. And the song apparently arrived ‘too late’ to be used. As the year closes we thought you might like to hear it. It didn’t work out, but became something of our own, which we love very much. ![]() 'Last year we were asked to write a theme tune for the Bond movie Spectre. The director, being a fan, expressed interest in using the once-in-a-career gift elsewhere in the film, but it was decided that the lyrics will be ‘too distracting.’ Oh.

They do what they want and clearly they want to donate a song to the movie. In a straightforward telling of love and danger (arguably the two pieces of duct tape that hold the Bond franchise in place,) Yorke croonsīeing Radiohead and writing a piece of work for what will undoubtedly be a juggernaut of consumerism is likely a tough line to toe. Listeners will be forgiven for mistaking it as the twin of 2001’s “Pyramid Song,” except this isn’t about the ancients’ view on the afterlife. ![]() “Spectre,” a sweeping, orchestral flight of atonal, Penderecki-esque strings and classic Amnesiac-era vocals, is simply masterful.
