A Light for Attracting Attention

Disaccordo totale: queste opere per me sono bellissime, come lo erano quelle di A Moon Shaped Pool e precedentemente Tomorrow's Modern Boxes. Anima è l'unico un pò moscio a livello di artwork.

Ah, no Tomorrow’s è bellissimo. Io parlo di front cover. 
tutte deludenti, è una mia opinione ovviamente, frutto di gusti personali. 
 

se dovesse confermarsi questa dei the smile tra titolo e cover penso sia la peggiore cover che abbia mai visto. Il titolo vabe’…

ma quindi nn ho capito. Secondo voi si puo' ascoltare tra mezz'ora o solo preorder?

Tracklist stranissima...come quasi sempre hanno dato il massimo per essere disomogenei: ha ragione  @Wanderer

Noto che anche se sono stati messi uno dopo l'altro la transizione Free in the Knowledge - A Hairdryer sarà interrotta nel vinile.

Spero di no, ma sarà solo preorder. Il sadismo di Thom Yorke non ha limiti

Comunque non ricordo un disco Radiohead oriented con un artwork cosi estivo, pare che Stanley l'abbia dipinto con i piedi inzuppati nelle Baleari

Io ho sperato per un po' (quando hanno fatto uscire la smitragliata di 4 singoli) che il 13 maggio sarebbe stata la pubblicazione fisica e che quindi avremmo potuto sentire la versione digitale già in marzo/aprile. Ma non ci credo più ormai. Sarà proprio come dici tu: 13 maggio digitale, giugno fisica.

E quando mi sbaglio...

And finally! A release date, a new song, the art work that Thom and Stanley have been painting all winter - and a sense that we will get to share, at last, our new music in full.

I feel grateful that we managed, with Nigel’s help, to record these songs in a way they deserve. And the singles released so far have been liked - as far as I can tell - which makes me feel dangerously confident in the rest of the record. As the all-knowing algorithm has it, if you liked that, you’ll love this, right? Hope so. Aside from anything, the brass and strings players who helped out - I really can’t wait for you to hear all their work too.

So yes, we’re properly proud and excited for everyone to have the whole thing - but, it’s been a drawn out process so far, with so many single songs released. I can only apologise for our tentativeness. Patience is a virtue, but then, so are sobriety and humility - and they’re not happening either. Nor can we persuade Apple Music to stop greying-out the titles of the unreleased tracks (the teases!) - but, come May 13th, everything will be out there, instead of in here.

As we prepare to play this all live, a small part of me views the record as a way of getting people familiar with the songs first. This is short sighted, but as I type this, I can’t really think beyond the first chord of the first concert in Croatia because that’s where so much of the excitement is for me. Live concerts are short-sighted, short-lived things, and all the more vital because of it.

But really, the record still feels worth your time - both the time spent waiting, and the time we’re asking you to invest in hearing it - which is all I can hope for. I’m listening to it constantly, long after I should have had enough, so maybe that’s the right, long-sighted view of this. I hope you have the same experience.

Best wishes,

Jonny
