[UPDATED BELOW] It's been about three and a half years since Radiohead released their last album, In Rainbows, which is why they announced their new one via an unexpected email to their fans earlier this week, simply stating: Thank You For Waiting. The album, The King of Limbs, was given a release date of tomorrow, but the band delivered a day ahead of schedule—you can now download the whole thing here (revisit our interview with Jonny Greenwood while you wait). There's nothing quite like waking up to a 60-something-degree day in February and watching this man dance:
As Ed O'Brien says on their latest Dead Air Space posting, "Have a great weekend wherever you are."
UPDATE:We're hearing that only HALF of The King of Limbs was released today (those tricky bastards), which would make sense, since the last song is called "Separator."
