Radiohead 'finish more songs for new LP'

Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood has said that the band have finished more songs for their eighth studio album.

In an essay for Index On Censorship, Greenwood also admitted that the group are currently uncertain as to how they will release the new record upon completion.

According to NME, he wrote: "We have just finished another group of songs. And have begun to wonder about how to release them in a digital landscape that has changed again.

"It seems to have become harder to own music in the traditional way, on a physical object like a CD, and instead music appears the poor cousin of software, streamed or locked into a portable device like a phone or iPod."

Despite Radiohead having launched 2007 album In Rainbows with a 'pay what you like' download scheme, Greenwood also said that he was nostalgic for more traditional methods of releasing music.

"I understand that we have become our own broadcasters and distributors," he said. "But I miss the editorialisation of music, the curatorial influences of people like John Peel or a good record label. I liked being on a record label that had us on it, along with Blur, Beastie Boys and The Beatles."

Radiohead guitarist Ed O'Brien revealed in June that the band's new album would be "very different to what we did last time".
