Radiohead have shocked both their fans and the music industry today by announcing they will release their brand new album this Saturday.
Making the announcement this morning, Radiohead announced online that their eighth studio album, 'The King Of Limbs', will be available to download on Saturday February 19th. 'The King Of Limbs' will also be available to pre-order through www.thekingoflimbs.com aswell as being released via a newspaper on Monday 9th May. The “newspaper” album will feature two ten-inch records, a CD, artwork and a download. You can pre-order it for Ł30 with an MP3 download and Ł33 with a WAV download. The digital only release costs Ł6 for an MP3 download and Ł9 for a WAV download.
It has not been confirmed whether Radiohead will release the album with a label attached. The band's last album 'Rainbows' was released online with fans paying what they thought the album was worth. 'Rainbows' was later released on CD by UK label 'XL'.
A message on Radiohead's website www.radiohead.com/deadairspace simply says “thank you for waiting” alongside a link to www.thekingoflimbs.com
