Radiohead They usually make the news for different reasons. Solo albums, projects, collaborations, but his guitarist Ed O’Brien He has just commented in an interview that, at the moment, there are no plans regarding a new work by the band.
Ed O’Brien, Radiohead guitarist, released a few weeks ago “Blue Morpho”which is his second solo album. For this reason, he has appeared in various media and has been interviewed for the British publication NME.
Among the statements related to his album, he has also spoken about the near future of the band and, from what it seems, the successor of “A Moon Shaped Pool”published exactly a decade ago, in 2016, is going to be a long time coming.
According to O’Brien, the recording of that last album was really complicated and, although the band members remain friends and enjoy playing together, there are no plans to enter the studio together again. The Smile it is still a stable project; Johnny Greenwood continues to work with Shye Ben Tzur and The Rajasthan Express; to Thom Yorke He has been seen on stage with Flea; Philip Selway He released an album in 2023 and maintains a low profile, and Colin Greenwood He has been with The Bad Seeds and published the book “How to disappear. A portrait of Radiohead”. But the public continues to wait for a Radiohead album.
O’Brien commented: “Where did this idea come from that there is another Radiohead album? I know it’s fun and the idea comes from a good place, the fact that people want to hear another Radiohead album. But I can’t imagine that happening because we haven’t even talked about the possibility of making another album. I think it all has to do with the fact that the last album was terrible to make. The history of that album is fucking dark and it cast a long shadow. Maybe it’s best if you ask me again in six years.”
