Staccato strings, a hint of a melody, the lyrics of a lifelong paranoiac: Radiohead's return has been dissected ad nauseam already, so I'm not going to add any more wood to the pyre.

not having that new Radiohead tune. Too much melody. Not enough banging on the side of a fridge with a broken zx spectrum.

I like this. Sounds like Thom Yorke has stopped worrying that melodies might cause climate change. https://t.co/LcTvsk56ow

It would be funny if this forthcoming Radiohead album was all about Thom Yorke confessing to an affair with Jay-Z.

And here is the Trumpton-themed video. It's clever because they've taken a kids programme and made it sinister. Ooooooooooooooh.
