Radiohead Hit The Studio To Record New Album

Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood has confirmed that the band have begun recording the follow up to 2007's 'In Rainbows'.

The news follows Ed O'Brien's confession in March that Radiohead had begun writing new material following the completion of most of their In Rainbows touring.

Speaking about the studio time, Greenwood told the BBC: "We just went in last week. It was really good. It was really noisy and chaotic and really fun."

However, Greenwood says that fully formed songs are yet to appear and the band are still working on ideas.

He added: "We're at the stage where we've got the big Lego box out and we've tipped it out on the floor and we're looking at all the bits and thinking, what next?"

Many people will be interested to know how Radiohead plan to release the new record following the 'pay what you want' download style of In Rainbows.

"We've got lots of ideas but we don't decide what we're going to do until we've finished the thing. It's all up in the air, but it was up in the air last time," Greenwood explained.
