There's been chatter amongst certain quarters for a few months now that Thom Yorke was secretly brewing something that might be being put out by the iconic and influential electronic label Warp Records. Today that speculation was proven bang on the money with the release of Back In The Game - a deliriously intoxicating new single released in collaboration with Mark Pritchard, one of Warp's most illustrious artists.
Long a fan of the Warp Records roster, the Radiohead and the Smile frontman's first release on the label marks a homecoming of sorts.
The strident, electronic menace of the track's spiky and tuba-like bass motif gives way to a captivating vocal from Thom. Its vibe recalls several key Radiohead cuts, and also underscores how much the influence of Warp's biggest acts have had on Yorke over the years.
