New Radiohead Tracks Appear Online

added 21 April 2005 at 12.08

Following Thom Yorke’s performance at the Trade Justice Movement rally in London, MP3s of the new songs have found their way onto the internet. Recordings of new track ‘House Of Cards’ and rarity ‘Last Flowers’ are now available online, while the band’s complete back catalogue is now available for purchase at War Child’s online music store.

An MP3 of Thom Yorke's solo performance of the new Radiohead track 'House of Cards' has surfaced on the net. The recording from the Methodist Central Hall gig last Friday (April 15) is currently being hosted by one of the chief Radiohead fansites.

Alongside the new track, there is also a recording of a lost rarity that’s been knocking around in the Radiohead camp for a number of years known variously as either 'Glass Flowers' or 'Last Flowers (Til The Hospital)'.

Both tracks are currently available from www.ateaseweb.com

The protest included an all-night vigil in London and culminated in a candlelight vigil near Downing Street. Thousands of people including Yorke took part in the demonstration designed to stop the UK Government pushing poor countries to open up their economies and enforce rules that would protect their trade rights and protect their environment and prevent a worsening of poverty.

York played a five song acoustic set at Methodist Central Hall which included Radiohead classic 'No Surprises', rare tracks 'Big Ideas' and 'Reckoner' and a brand new previously unheard song entitled 'House Of Cards'.

According to www.ateaseweb.com Yorke also revealed Radiohead are also working another new track called 'Arpeggi' (which the band debuted live at the Ether Festival) with the singer explaining that the song is nearly finished, but couldn't say if it will appear on Radiohead's next album.

And in slightly more legal download news, Radiohead's full back catalogue is now available at www.warchildmusic.com. Included for purchase are every album the band have released as well as all the singles, B-sides (excepting the ‘Pablo Honey’ A-sides) and Jonny Greenwood's remix of the live version of 'Go to Sleep'.

Individual tracks are priced at 99p and albums are £7.99. 20p from each 99p track and up to £1.50 from a £7.99 album will go to War Child.
