Thom Yorke's "The Eraser"






















Thom Yorke has a new album coming out called "The Eraser". So far, listening to it today, it generally sounds like the electronica-tinged tracks on the past few Radiohead albums. I think its good, with some great melodies, and some interesting electronic textures. Sounds like 21st century music. Here are some selected tracks to check out:

Mr. Yorke also has an intriguing web site for the record, which, like some previous Radiohead web sites, plays around with the album art in very media-flashy, artsy ways...some very kool graphics and sounds on the site...you have to click around a bit to get all the goodies, but the randomness of it makes it fun:
