Radiohead's new album 'In Rainbows' on CD & LP
It’s official: Radiohead have signed to XL Recordings for the physical release of their new album ‘In Rainbows’.
Represented in New Zealand by The Label / Rhythmethod, XL Recordings is already home to The White Stripes, M.I.A, Dizzee Rascal, Devendra Banhart & Basement Jaxx. XL also released Thom Yorke’s 2006 solo album ‘The Eraser’.
‘In Rainbows' was released on October 10 as a download only, with the band allowing fans to name their price. The label will now handle the album’s physical CD release.
"Radiohead are a constant inspiration to us all, because they unfailingly put creativity first. XL is more than honoured to be working with Radiohead," explains XL founder Richard Russell.
"Radiohead
have created a huge amount of excitement via the unique way
in which they launched this campaign online," says the
label's Managing Director Ben Beardsworth. "'In Rainbows' is
truly a classic album and it deserves to reach a massive
audience, well beyond that of download and box set sales. We
will be working closely with them to help deliver
that."
Pete Baker, Rhythmethod founder and
Managing Director, adds: "Obviously we’re chuffed &
honoured to have the opportunity to work with one of the
worlds greatest band’s. Congrats must also go to XL for
securing this highly anticipated release".
A
release date for the CD is yet to be
confirmed.
