Radiohead will finally expose a track that is nearly ten years in the making.


The band has decided to include the song, "Nude," which was originally supposed to appear on 1997's OK Computer, on the new album, which they are currently working on with producer Mark "Spike" Stent (Bjork, Madonna). On Monday [February 20], frontman Thom Yorke wrote on the band's official site: "Jonny [Greenwood] is hastily writing out scores for a string quartet who are coming tomorrow. Right now we are working on "Nude." It sounds beautiful, as far as I can tell."


While the track has been played live since the band's promotional tour for OK Computer, this is the first time it will appear on any official studio albums. The album is slated to be released later this year, according to NME.


Late last year guitarist Ed O'Brien told BBC 1 that Radiohead would tour behind the new release in the summer of 2006.

Certainly not by me. I like all their albums.....but really they aren't doing anything new anymore. The term 'painting themselves into a corner' comes to mind.

I don't dislike them, but I always felt OK Computer was like a lush neo-prog album without a soul. The only Radiohead album I truly liked was Kid A. The Bends and Pablo Honey were ok. Their last two albums, though...ugh.

In my opinion, Hail to the Thief is their masterpiece.

They just put themselves in a real tight spot. They can't really go any more bizarre or they'll lose the small degree of accessibility they have now but if they go more commercial sounding, the true fans will most likely cry foul. I'm not sure how they could walk the line of making a great innovative record while going in a different direction. Maybe an acoustic record?

They haven't even gone that bizzare, though.

It's funny. Every record of theirs has a song/s that's been kicking around for ages.

Big Ideas/Nude is alright... I've just been listening to it forever, so it'd be weird thinking of it as a different thing.

Dude, have you heard Amnesiac?

[notchreturns]

Yes, quite a bit. It's really isn't that strange or different. Nothing they do really is that far out there when you compare it to something like Aphex Twin, Can, Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, etc.
