[News] Explosions in the Sky - "Postcard From 1952" (New Video)

2012-05-07T19:23:00.000-07:00

As promised by the band, the new video of "Postcard From 1952" has been released today.
This video portays some of life's mos tender moments, like a baby's early steps, a mother photographing her child, flowers in a young girl's hair, a couple's kiss.

The drummer Chris Hrasky told HuffPost:

""We avoided videos for years and years and I think a lot of the reason was because we liked the idea of people creating videos or movies in their heads," he said. "I'm not really sure why that changed with this record, maybe it had to do with knowing a lot of creative and talented people who were friends of ours, so if they expressed interest in making a video we'd be OK with it."

[News] Radiohead - leaked song from the 1990's

2011-12-22T16:00:00.000-08:00

A song whose voice appears to be from the singer Thom Yorke, appeared online. This track is apparently from the 1990's, in the era of the album "Bends".

The fan site Ateaseweb.com, wrote:
"A track surfaced today with vocals sounding like Thom Yorke’s together with a Radiohead sound that could’ve been recorded in the early nineties. Think Pablo Honey, The Bends. You could go for the title: ‘How Do You Sit Still?’, although ‘Putting Ketchup in the Fridge’ has been named as the actual title of the track, but surely sounds less romantic. You’ll get slightly reminded by The Bends b-side ‘How Can You Be Sure?’."

Radiohead have also recently released two new tracks, available to listen online - "The Daily Mail" and "Staircase". They are also available for purchase at the follwing websites:
- Deezer: Link
- Amazon.co.uk: Link

Here's the leaked song from Radiohead.
