So blah: another day, another headline-making collaboration between Radiohead top-brass Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood and hip-hop mask-aficionado DOOM. Remember a little year called 2009, in which Yorke remixed the DOOM track “Gazzillion Ear”? And it sounded all glitchy and spacey and Yorkey?? And then back in March, remember when this shit happened? Me too! God, I’m just so NOSTALGIC for 2009-through-spring 2011. I’m really hoping someone makes some music about that time period soon.
Well anyway, according to the ‘Fork, the coolest dudes in the universe are up to their usual wacky hi-jinx and are once again working together on a track for an upcoming Lex Records compilation in celebration of the label’s 10-year anniversary. The track has no title at the moment, but the compilation itself is called Complex, and it will also feature tracks from from Gruff Rhys and Boom Bip’s Neon Neon project, Boom Bip solo, Doseone and Fog’s Crook&Flail project, any many more. Like all classic albums, it’ll be released digitally on a one-track-per-week basis, culminating in a mid-Jaunary physical release on something called “picture disc vinyl.” Get your 3D glasses all charged up.
Oh, and DOOM is also touring.
