Radiohead fans are eagerly awaiting news or the release of their new album, after the band deleted all of their online presence before returning to Twitter and social media to tease a new video, Gigwise reveals.
Over the weekend, the band not only sent out ominous 'Burn The Witch' leaflets to fans, but their website gradually started to fade before disappearing, along with the band erasing all previous presence from Facebook and Twitter. But now, they are active once again, sharing a short animated video of a bird chirping:
This seems to be in keeping with the theory that the record may well be called A Dawn Chorus and set for release this week. Last month saw fans on Reddit begin to speculate that the record could drop around the period of 1 May. Said date comes from the fact that the first Sunday of May every year is known as International Dawn Chorus Day - the day when birds grow louder in the spirit of Spring, apparently, Gigwise said.
"Radiohead curiously formed their own company Dawn Chorus LLP - just as they did prior to the release of In Rainbows and The King Of Limbs. The creation of the company suggests that everything is in place for the record to drop, but does the name suggest that it will be on 1 May? Time will tell, there's only a few weeks to wait..," Gigwise said.
Meanwhile, it was recently reported that the band have made a music video in Los Angeles with There Will Be Blood director Paul Thomas Anderson.
The band recently had their current record label XL purchase their back catalogue from Parolophone - seeing a number of tracks and albums disappear from Spotify and streaming services. This comes after artist and collaborator Stanley Donwood claims that while it may not be finished yet, Radiohead's new album is 'a work of art'.
