Everybody’s favorite happy-go-lucky UK boy band has delayed the release of their seventh album until 2008, reports NME. Radiohead have not released an album since 2003’s Hail to the Thief. The band have been working on new material (including a recent stint in the studio in New York), but apparently forgot they left their label EMI after Thief and, gee, it’s kind of hard to release an album without a label. Actually, no, they didn’t forget, they just stopped caring:
Radiohead’s management dismissed speculation over recent months that Warner Music was poised to secure the band’s signature. “The band [is] not looking for a record company in any way, shape or form,” the representative says. “They are out of a contract, but they’re not actively looking for another one. They’re getting on with doing what they do.”
Which is, I guess, make music nobody can hear, except in tiny little clips on a confusing website that has a tendency to lock up your computer. (Seriously.) Please, guys, we know you’re annoyed with the Industry. We’re all annoyed with the Industry. But that’s all the more reason to speed your cathartic tunes to us! Malaise! Besides, the world might end before 2008!! Isn’t that what Kid A is about?!
