Modest Mouse video for “King Rat”
The Radiohead enigma continues. Although it was already posted, we’re reposting the supposedly new, leaked song – “These Are My Twisted Worlds” – from Radiohead. The song mysteriously appeared on a popular Radiohead fan site, Atease on Wednesday.
Although the previously unreleased song “These Are My Twisted Words” has not been confirmed by Radiohead as one of their own, die-hard fans are convinced it is. The track certainly sounds like the band, and the vocals are unmistakenly those of singer Thom Yorke singing (note the similarity in sound with “Weird Fishes/Arpeggi” from the band’s classic In Rainbows release).
All of this ‘new Radiohead’ buzz has made it the most intriguing mystery in music so far this year. If this is all an elaborate PR campaign by Yorke and the band to mitigate the hullabaloo Yorke created earlier this month (after he suggested to the publication The Believer that the band may never make another album), it certainly has been effective. We’ll see what happens on Monday.
Also included in this playlist are new songs from Blitzen Trapper, Dirty Projectors, Port O’Brien, Mission of Burma, Broken Records, Twin Atlas, The Bowerbirds, Builders and Butchers, Rainbow Bridge, David Mead, Mount Eerie, Jeff Merchant, Mellowdrone, Ramona Falls and Lou Barlow.
