Radiohead have revealed that their new LP In Rainbows has many similarities to their seminal OK Computer album.
Singer Thom Yorke has explained that the band's new release, which fans can download in a week's time, is thematically related to their 1997 number one record.
Yorke told NME: "Interestingly enough it’s similar to OK Computer in a way. It’s much more terrifying. But OK Computer was terrifying too, some of the lyrics were."
Talking about the lyrical content of the record, he commented: "We had this phrase kicking about for ages, ‘New Suburbian’ which we ended up putting on a T-shirt.
"It’s a made-up word, but that really sums up what I’m writing about at the moment I think. It’s about that anonymous fear thing, sitting in traffic, thinking, 'I’m sure I’m supposed to be doing something else'."
