“I cherish the band, but I don’t expect anyone else to”: it’s nine years since the last Radiohead record and I accidentally got the only interview for it

Radiohead live in 2016.

When Radiohead released their ninth album A Moon Shaped Pool in May 2016, it felt like the breaking of an extended dormant period for the art-rock trailblazers. It had, after all, been five years since the Oxford quintet’s previous record The King Of Limbs but as it turns out, five years between albums was nothing. A Moon Shaped Pool turned 9 this week. It remains Radiohead’s most recent new release.

There’s been no shortage of extra-curricular activity, with records in numerous guises from Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Phil Selway and Ed O’Brien, a fascinating photobook from Colin Greenwood (who’s also currently moonlighting as a Bad Seed in Nick Cave's band) alongside some extensive reissue releases, but there’s not been a tenth Radiohead album or any live activity since the tour to support A Moon Shaped Pool wound up in 2018.
