Thom Yorke The Eraser

Thom Yorke has spoken out about his first solo album, which will be released this Summer.

The Radiohead star will release a 9 track collection of tracks, entitled The Eraser which will be released by XL Recordings on July 11th.

The album sees Yorke working with long-term Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich who produced & arranged it, while Thom wrote and played everything.

Thom Yorke notified fans of The Eraser by issuing a statement through the Radiohead fanclub W.A.S.T.E.

"this is just a note to say that something has been kicking around in the background that i have not told you about.
its called The Eraser.
nigel produced & arranged it .
i wrote and played it.
the elements have been kicking round now for a few years and needed to be finished & i have been itching to do something like this for ages.
it was fun and quick to do.
inevitably it is more beats & electronics.
but its songs.
stanley did the cover.
yes its a record!
no its not a radiohead record.
as you know the band are now touring and writing new stuff and getting to a good space so i want no crap about me being a traitor or whatever splitting up blah blah...
this was all done with their blessing. and i don't wanna hear that word solo. doesnt sound right.
ok then thats that.

i think its out in july and im pretty certain XL are going to put it out.
love thom"
