Radiohead frontman announces solo album

• 14th May 2006

According to well-respected Radiohead fansite Ateseweb.com Thom Yorke is to release a solo album called “The Eraser”. The website (which is widely known as the official unnofficial Radiohead site) received an email from Radioheads management saying:

“this is just a note to say that something has been kicking around in the background that i have not told you about.
its called The Eraser. link
nigel produced & arranged it .
i wrote and played it.
the elements have been kicking round now for a few years and needed to be finished & i have been itching to do something like this for ages.
it was fun and quick to do.
inevitably it is more beats & electronics.
but its songs.
stanley did the cover.
yes its a record!
no its not a radiohead record.
as you know the band are now touring and writing new stuff and getting to a good space so i want no crap about me being a traitor or whatever splitting up blah blah…
this was all done with their blessing. and i don't wanna hear that word solo. doesnt sound right.
ok then thats that.

i think its out in july and im pretty certain XL are going to put it out.

love thom
