Radiohead has been quiet for the better part of the last decade, but they just shared a new live album digitally, out now, with a physical release to come on Oct. 31. The album collects live recordings from 20023-2009 and is titled Hail To The Thief, a fittingly political title for all times.
The recordings were made in London, Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, and Dublin between 2003 and 2009, them mixed by Ben Baptie and mastered by Matt Colton.
“In the process of thinking of how to build arrangements for the Shakespeare Hamlet/Hail To The Thief theatre production, I asked to hear some archive live recordings of the songs," Thom Yorke says in a press release. "I was shocked by the kind of energy behind the way we played. I barely recognised us, and it helped me find a way forward. We decided to get these live recordings mixed and released (it would have been insane to keep them for ourselves). It has all been a very cathartic process. We very much hope you enjoy them.”
