Radiohead Returning To The Studio In January

Radiohead are planning to return the recording studio in January to continue working on the next album. According to guitarist Ed O’Brien, the band are looking forward to this next session.

“The vibe in the camp is fantastic at present, and we head off into the studio in January to continue on from the work we started last summer,” he wrote on Radiohead.com. “I am so genuinely excited about what we’re doing, but for obvious reasons I can’t divulge anything more.”

The next Radiohead album will be a follow-up to In Rainbows, first released in 2007 as a Pay What You Want digital download on the band’s website. The album was released a few months later on CD, but not before giving a nice, wake-up call to the music business that the times were definitely a-changin’.

“Ten years ago we were all collectively (that’s the band) in the land of ‘Kid A’ and although hugely proud of that record, it wasn’t a fun place to be,” O’Brien wrote.

“What’s reassuring now, is that we are most definitely a different band, which should therefore mean that the music is different too and that is the aim of the game. Keep it moving.”

Along with the news about the band heading back into the studio, O’Brien was kind enough to recommend ten films to watch over the Christmas holidays. They are as follows:

• 1. Harold And Maude
• 2. Sideways
• 3. 2001: A Space Odyssey
• 4. Where Eagles Dare
• 5. Son Of Rambow
• 6. This is England
• 7. Being There
• 8. The Year of Living Dangerously
• 9. Finding Nemo
• 10. Moonraker

Not a bad list at all, Mr. O’Brien.
