Although there have been plenty of rumors of a quick follow-up to Radiohead’s recently released King of Limbs, the band say that there’s no truth to the reports. The rumors were spurred on by Radiohead’s Record Store Day releases – “Supercollider” and “The Butcher” – due on Saturday, April 16.
“‘The Butcher’ is from The King of Limbs sessions,” guitarist Ed O’Brien told NME.com. “‘Supercollider’ was recorded during that period and finished off after the album came out.”
He said that the single releases aren’t part of a bigger piece.
“There are songs that we have started, that we never finished, but there’s not like seven or eight finished songs waiting in the wings to be released now, or in the autumn,” O’Brien said.
When The King of Limbs was released online, some fans expected a “Part 2” because it only included eight tracks.
“It’s just the way the album is sequenced best,” O’Brien responded, and added, “40, 41 minutes is the optimum time we feel for a record.”
