Johnny Greenwood speaks of Radiohead’s Ninth Album

You may have heard murmours of a ninth Radiohead album, but in a recent interview with Dutch magazine 3voor12, Radiohead guitarist and sound-scaper Johnny Greenwood potentially reveals ‘Lift’, confirming they are working on a track they first started almost twenty years ago, akin to ‘Nude’ on In Rainbows, which was drafted ten years prior. He also speaks swaying back into the motions with the band and working with Thom on new ideas. Read the full interview here

Here is a very early version of Lift from ’96.

“What people don’t know is that there’s a very old song on each album, like ‘Nude’ on In Rainbows. We never found the right arrangement for that, until then. ‘Lift’ is just like that. When the idea is right, it stays right. It doesn’t really matter in which form.”
