Radiohead's Thom Yorke just released a surprise album, Beyoncé-style
Instead of jumping through publicity hoops and putting out the album through a carefully constructed PR performance, Yorke simply uploaded his album to Bit******* where anyone could download it. Shortly before the album arrived online, Yorke released a statement with producer Nigel Godrich that read:
If it works well it could be an effective way of handing some control of internet commerce back to people who are creating the work.
Enabling those people who make either music, video or any other kind of digital content to sell it themselves.
Bypassing the self elected gate-keepers.
If it works anyone can do this exactly as we have done.
Tomorrow's Modern Boxes is only available on Bit*******, where listeners can download the track "Tomorrow's Modern Boxes" for free, and watch the video
On 30 September 2007, Jonny Greenwood announced Radiohead's seventh album on the band's blog, Dead Air Space, writing: "Well, the new album is finished, and it's coming out in 10 days . . . We've called it In Rainbows."
Quote:
Radiohead announced The King of Limbs on their website on 14 February 2011 with a release date of 19 February, five days later
people saying they already done this when they cant read properly the article. nobody ever dropped an album like Beyoncé did in the middle of nowhere. with not even 1 minute of warning.
I don't think he was actually influenced By BEYONCE, you guys know she wasn't the first to do it, when an artist releases 17 videos and a surprise release well then they copied but this is not the case at all.
Who doesn't know Thom Yorke 
will buy
