New Radiohead Songs Registered With Publishing Company
Earlier this month Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood confirmed that the band would enter the recording studio later this year. It appears that the band has recently registered a bunch of potential new songs (and some old ones) on ASCAP, The American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers.
Some of the songs registered debuted during The King Of Limbs tour, such as “Cut A Hole”, “Ful Stop”, “Identikit”, and “Skirting On The Surface”. Other known or previously mentioned songs include “Come To Your Senses” and “Man O War”, which is also known by fans as “Big Boots” and first appeared in the mid 1990’s and is best know for appearing in the 1998 Radiohead documentary Meeting People Is Easy.
Thom Yorke did reveal that “Identikit”, and one other unknown song was recorded at Jack White’s Third Man Records recording studio in Nashville over the Summer during a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) session last week. Could these 2 tracks be released as single possibly for Record Store Day?

Thom Yorke interview with The Guardian ‘If I can’t enjoy this now, when do I start?’
Thom Yorke recently spoke to The Guardian about his forthcoming debut album AMOK with Atoms For Peace. In the interview Yorke discusses being happy and says, “I’m 44 now,” he says, with a short laugh. “And I did start thinking, if I can’t enjoy this now, when am I going to start?”.
He also discusses his songwriting process for AMOK and taking things in a more upbeat and positive direction than some of Radiohead’s music. He said, “when I originally wrote that ‘No more going to the dark side’ line, it was kind of taking the piss. And the irony is that Radiohead have just done this big world tour last year and for the most part we had the best time we have ever had. And a lot of dance music is very angry in a good way. But yes, the idea was for once in my life just to enjoy the energy of it and not want to pull it apart. Nigel was constantly on at me: ‘Don’t make it dark!'”
And he further elaborated when asked it it was a permanent shift and responded,”No, it depends where I am, I think. Maybe literally. I’ve been working at home over the winter and everything I’ve been doing is dark as fuck. But we did a lot of this away in Los Angeles and it was sunnier. It was something to do in the afternoon and evening before you went out. There is no way I’m really going to lose the old heavy work ethic. But we got close a few times.”
Thom also answered a few fan submitted questions:
Do you feel as if you’re pulling ideas for songs from different places, compared to earlier in your career? Chris Robbins
I would hope my ideas are from a different place because my life has changed quite a lot in 20-odd years of doing this! I would hope they’ve changed as the times have changed.
