Thom Yorke has released a new album, Tomorrow's Modern Boxes.
The album is available to download using BitTorrent, the peer-to-peer file sharing software.
In a statement co-authored with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, Yorke wrote, “As an experiment we are using a new version of BitTorrent to distribute a new Thom Yorke record. The new Torrent files have a pay gate to access a bundle of files. The files can be anything, but in this case is an ‘album’.”
Thom Yorke has teased fans by posting an image of a white 12-inch vinyl on a turntable.
Next to the record appears to be artwork designed by Stanley Donwood – the band's long-time collaborator who has designed all of their album and poster art since 1994. A link to the image, which Yorke posted on his Tumblr page, was also tweeted by another long-time Radiohead collaborator, producer Nigel Godrich.
