New Radiohead Album 'A Moon Shaped Pool' out May 8

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

It’s official—Radiohead is releasing a new album. The still-unnamed release is out digitally on Sunday, May 8, but (sorry record stores!) won’t be available for physical distribution until June 17.

In advance of the new album, the band released a new single, “Daydreaming,” along with a video directed by Academy Award-nominated director Paul Thomas Anderson.

“Daydreaming” is the second single to be released by Radiohead in advance of its new record. “Burn the Witch” was released earlier this week, after the band scrubbed its presence from the Internet, only to rebuild it with tiny teasers on social media. The teasers and the new singles were tantalizing for fans eager for new music from Radiohead, who hasn’t released a studio album since 2011’s King of Limbs.

To support the release of its ninth album, the band has a slew of festival dates coming up, including Spain’s Primavera Sound Festival, Chicago’s Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits.

Edit: I'm not sure when Thom Yorke turned 65, but there you go

O really liked "Burn the Witch". First I'm hearing of "Daydreaming" but iloke it too. Sounds like it could've been on Kid A.

I'm getting a bit of an orchestral feel from both tracks. I wonder if Jonny's composing career has something to do with that.

Whatever the case may be, both songs have pretty good videos. I loved the Postman Pat meets Wicker Man vibe of "Burn The Witch" but got slightly creeped out with the backward "snoring speech" at the end of "Daydreaming", especially with Old Thom looking the camera straight in the eye.

Probably going to download the album if it comes with the lossless/WAV version that TKOL had.

Both new songs are awesome, I'm so ridiculously psyched for this album. I loved King of Limbs but if the rest of the album is as good as these two tracks it could be their best since Hail to the Thief.

Album is out and is fantastic. I really enjoyed every song, Ful Stop being my favorite on first listen. Anyone else checked it out yet?

They won't put it on Spotify, so I had to buy off iTunes (boo!).

"The Numbers" is kicking my ass right now, what a great song. And unlike TKOL, where the live versions were 10 times better, these songs sound amazing as studio tracks

Beautiful, fantastic album. It's poignant and groovy and warm and dark and basically everything I could hope for from Radiohead. Goddamn.
