Radiohead are currently back in the studio putting the finishing touches on the "best album we’ve ever made," guitarist Ed O’Brien announced during his guest DJ spot on BBC 6 Music this weekend, adding that the LP will hopefully be released by the end of the year. "It’s genuinely exciting, it’s very different from what we did last time. It’s so good to be making music with a band that you feel is as good as it’s ever been," O’Brien said of the group’s anticipated follow-up to 2007’s In Rainbows.
Telling host Adam Buxton (via AtEase) wrapping up the record "feels it’s in touching distance," O’Brien added that "bursts of energy" could derail the band slightly, but he sees the group exiting the studio with the final product within "a matter of weeks."
O’Brien didn’t offer up any specifics regarding the upcoming disc, but Yorke has debuted nearly a dozen new tracks — "The Present Tense," "Lotusflower," "The Daily Mail" and "Mouse Bird Dog," just to name a few — over the last year while touring solo or with Atoms for Peace. However, Yorke hasn’t confirmed whether those fresh songs are bound for the follow-up to his solo record The Eraser or Radiohead’s next disc.
