A special Valentine’s Day announcement: Radiohead are releasing their eighth album this Saturday! Titled The King of Limbs — named, presumably, after the hit sitcom The King of Queens — the album is available for pre-order now at the band’s website and will be made available on MP3/WAV the same day. There will also be a newspaper version released on May 9, which features 625 “tiny pieces of artwork,” two clear 10-inch vinyls, a CD, and more.
Order directly at thekingoflimbs.com or you can try your luck and send us money at orders@tinymixtapes.com. C’mon, take a risk for once in your life.
UPDATE: According to the group’s publicist, the digital release is on the band’s own Ticker Tape imprint, but the album will also see a more traditional release (CD/12-inch) March 28 via labels XL Recordings, TBD Records, and Hostess Entertainment.
