EXCITEMENT is growing among Radiohead fans, over suggestions the band’s next album is ready for release.
Speculation was fuelled by the setting up of a new company by members of the Oxford-based alternative rock group, called Dawn Chorus LLP, in October.
The band took the same step with their previous two releases, King of Limbs and In Rainbows - releasing the albums two and three months later, in 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The band have remained silent over the timing of their ninth studio album, though fans had hoped to see it before the end of 2015.
No one from Courtyard, the band’s Sutton Courtenay-based management company, was available for comment.
The album could include their proposed theme tune for the latest OO7 film Spectre. The tune was passed over and a more conventional song by Sam Smith, used instead.
A statement by the band on the SoundCloud website says: “Last year we were asked to write a theme tune for the Bond movie Spectre.
"It didn’t work out, but became something of our own, which we love very much.”
