Pitchfork News

Pitchfork had the exclusive opportunity to listen in on the eagerly anticipated Thom Yorke project, The Eraser. So I'm assuming it's only a matter of time before it's leaked to the internet. You can read a track by track synopsis here.

Regarding The Eraser, Yorke also wrote "inevitably it is more beats & electronics. but its [sic] songs," and that pretty much sums it up. The record is song-oriented to a perhaps surprising degree-- no instrumentals, all tracks pretty much in the four-minute range, mostly standard time signatures-- and emphasizes the trademark textural richness of Radiohead and Godrich.
