Thom York releases solo single

Thom Yorke has announced the upcoming release of two new songs as a solo artist.

Writing on the band's official website, the Radiohead frontman said that the tracks will be available from the group's online store and some record shops from September 21.

The 12" vinyl of 'FeelingPulledApartbyHorses' and 'The Hollow Earth' will also come with a free download, while the tracks will be available via "the usual channels" from October 6.

Yorke said: "This is to inform you of the release of two more bits of work shortly. They are loosely under the Thom Yorke name this time, although these days its all getting kind of blurry.

"'FeelingPulledApartbyHorses' is written and played by Jonny and I and is a radical rework of an old tune that's been kicking around without a home since 2001? I think."

He added: "'The Hollow Earth' is a bass menace that was born out of the Eraser period but needed a little more time.

"Both were produced by Nigel Godrich as ever. And mastered by Bob Ludwig. They are being put out on 12" with sliced sleeve by Stanley and Tchock."

Yorke released his debut solo album The Eraser in 2006.
