Thom Yorke’s message about Radiohead’s new live album
In a statement explaining how the album arose, Yorke said: “While I thought about how to create arrangements for Shakespeare Hamlet Hamlet/Hail to the Thief, I asked to listen to some live file recordings of the songs.

The new live album marks the first Radiohead activity since it formed a new commercial entity – a limited liability company (SRL) – in March, which leaves a slight doubt about its inactive state.
Today’s launch does not necessarily answer the question posed by this entity: Radiohead usually form SRL for tours, not for reissues, and historically, the band has not turned without a new album to polish or promote.
