Wait, what? When did this happen? Apparently just now. Radiohead has announced that their eighth full-length album, The King of Limbs, will be released Saturday, February 19. So that’s what they’ve been doing while Jonny Greenwood writes film scores!
Granted, it’s just the digital download available on Saturday to those who pre-ordered. The rest of us schmucks have to wait until March 29 to download/buy/covet a buffet of album goodness. Not only will they be releasing vinyl and CDs, but also the first widely-publicized “newspaper album.” Information from the album’s website helps describe what this is:
Radiohead’s new record, The King of Limbs, is presented here as the world’s first* Newspaper Album, comprising:
Two clear 10” vinyl records in a purpose-built record sleeve.
A compact disc.
Many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork and a full-colour piece of oxo-degradeable plastic to hold it all together.
The Newspaper Album comes with a digital download that is compatible with all good digital media players.
The Newspaper Album will be shipped on Monday 9th May 2011 you can, however, enjoy the download on Saturday 19th February 2011.
Shipping is included in the prices shown.
One lucky owner of the digital version of The King of Limbs, purchased from this website, will receive a signed 2 track 12” vinyl.
*"perhaps”
This is just the hard copy though. Also for sale are digital releases of the album, which is detailed on their website as well:
Radiohead’s new record, The King of Limbs, is presented here with a choice of two digital formats:
MP3 version is a 320K constant bit rate file.
WAV version is a full CD quality uncompressed digital audio file.
One lucky owner of the digital version of The King of Limbs, purchased from this website, will receive a signed 2 track 12” vinyl.
The King of Limbs can be pre-ordered now and downloaded on Saturday 19th February 2011.
Well, hot damn! When they lay it on you, they lay it on thick!
