taken right from greenplastic.. no name cola's post doesnt explain much if ur too lazy to click the link



We received this message from W.A.S.T.E. tonight. It confirms the rumors that Thom has made an album:

this is just a note to say that something has been kicking around in the background that i have not told you about.
its called The Eraser.
nigel produced & arranged it .
i wrote and played it.
the elements have been kicking round now for a few years and needed to be finished & i have been itching to do something like this for ages.
it was fun and quick to do.
inevitably it is more beats & electronics.
but its songs.
stanley did the cover.
yes its a record!
no its not a radiohead record.
as you know the band are now touring and writing new stuff and getting to a good space so i want no crap about me being a traitor or whatever splitting up blah blah...
this was all done with their blessing. and i don't wanna hear that word solo. doesnt sound right.
ok then thats that.

i think its out in july and im pretty certain XL are going to put it out.

love thom

UPDATE: Pitchfork says the album will be out on July 11 and has the tracklisting:

01 the eraser
02 analyse
03 the clock
04 black swan
05 skip divided
06 atoms for peace
07 and it rained all night
08 harrowdown hill
09 cymbal rush

Pitchfork also notes that the band will resume work on the next Radiohead album after the tour and it will be released sometime next year.

Oh man.  Love the art, love the site.

I predict best release of the year.

[Paint Your Lips]

Easy now, man ... Haha. But, i am really stoked about this album, though. I can't deny that.

Can't wait to hear it. I love Thom's vocals.

[Fireal1222]

Oh man.  Love the art, love the site.

I predict best release of the year.

i gotta admit, that song in the background of that flash animation is downright amazing, with a amnesiac feel. i really love radiohead, and i know that both radiohead or thom, wouldnt put out anything rushed or crappy


expect something amazing folks


it also says, new radiohead will be out early 07

[Paint Your Lips]

Now that you mention the background sound ... Do we know anything about what kind of music to expect? If it's some kind of electronica or Radiohead like sound?

That background music for theeraser.net is fucking creepy, dreamy and cool as fuck...can't wait for this.

Sweet ! Thanks, man. Wow, this sounds great !

[Fireal1222]

im guessing its going to have alot of songs that sound like pyramid song.


the way he makes it sound is that the material has been floating around. so im guessing its his old ideas mixed with his new ideas, which is bound to make an amazing record

[no name cola]

yeah, Cymbal Rush is a piano song. so maybe youre right about some Pyramis Song sounding songs.

[Inkblades]

cymbal rush is awesome by the way

[no name cola]

but im guessing, itll be mostly stuff like, The Gloaming, Backdrifts or KID A.
and the new radiohead will be a lot more full band stuff.

[Paint Your Lips]

so maybe youre right about some Pyramis Song sounding songs.

That fits me perfectly, cuz that's my favorite Radiohead song. Looking forward to it.

[Fireal1222]

yeah pyramid song is fucking AMAZING

i really love the chatter and violins in the background

[Paint Your Lips]

His vocals gives me chills every time ... Beautiful. The lyrics once made me cry. But, that's a personal matter.

Just a beautiful song ...

[sleeptraveler]

They are some of his best lyrics.
