Radiohead fans have been waiting four years for a new album, and now guitarist Ed O'Brien has delivered some welcome news.
The musician confirmed that a follow up to 2016’s A Moon Shaped Pool “will definitely happen”, but admitted that he has “no idea” when it will be.
“I’m sure there will be another album,” O’Brien said in an interview with Guitar World. “That last record was a lot of old songs, which explains the different eras of Radiohead it might have sounded like.”
O’Brien added that a new Radiohead album “will definitely happen”, but added: “When that is, I have no idea.”
In recent years, the band members have focussed on their solo projects. O’Brien recently released his first solo album Earth in April, while singer Thom Yorke released solo album Anima in 2019 and also provided the score for 2018 film Suspiria.
In the years since A Moon Shaped Pool, guitarist Jonny Greenwood has also provided the scores for the films You Were Never Really Here and Phantom Theatre, as well as writing orchestral concert pieces.
O’Brien previously told NME: “For the foreseeable future, everyone is doing their own thing… when it feels right to plug back into Radiohead, then we will.”
Radiohead have been sharing classic concert footage from the archives during lockdown, posting weekly shows on their YouTube channel on Thursdays.
