LISTEN – Radiohead have dropped a new song and it is brilliant

Ellen Tannam

Radiohead are a band with a stunning legacy. Active since 1985, and creators of albums like OK Computer and In Rainbows, the group have maintained their legendary status for decades now.

Their most recent album King Of Limbs, was released to great critical acclaim in February 2011, but the band had been relatively quiet in the years that followed.

Until today. The band released the video for their new single Burn the Witch, and it’s a disturbing hybrid of a type of children’s television show and horror movie The Wicker Man.

Musically, it’s brilliant, with sweeping string sections and a sense of menace found in a lot of Radiohead’s work.

We welcome their return, and can’t wait for the new album.

The band are playing Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona next month, and it should be a great show.
