Thom Yorke played a solo set of Radiohead songs, including the debut of A Moon Shaped Pool tracks “The Numbers” (then called “Silent Spring”) and “Desert Island Disk.”
In other news, Radiohead has been keeping busy this year. Back in May, they released their ninth studio album, A Moon Shaped Pool, six years after their last album. They also announced live shows for the first time since 2012. It seems the English rock band is on a roll this year.
The group focused heavily on art and visuals throughout the promotion of A Moon Shaped Pool. You can see the effort in video’s “Burn The Witch” and “Daydreaming.”
While on the road, promoting their latest album at one record store in Istanbul, Turkey an event that should’ve been all fun suddenly became a terrifying and violent attack on the attendees. The attack occurred around 11:00 PM local time at a record store called Velvet Indieground. An group of men entered the store and began vandalizing and assaulting those in attendance. Read more about it here.
The event didn’t seem to trump their enthusiasm. The band is still on tour at the moment, playing sold out shows. Looks like most tickets are not available, but fans are still anxious for any extra tickets to be released to the public, be on the lookout here.
Below, watch Yorke’s piano version of “Bloom”.
