Radiohead sleuths of the world, unite. For the primary time because the Kid A Mnesia reissue—and, earlier than that, the months main as much as A Moon Shaped Pool—all 5 members of the band have fashioned a restricted legal responsibility partnership, a kind of enterprise entity that helps Radiohead exist outdoors the traditional report label mannequin. The band included RHEUK LLP this week, on March 10, suggesting exercise is beneath approach. Whether or not it pertains to a reissue, an elusive tenth studio album, their first tour since 2018, or one thing extra innocuous stays to be seen within the coming months.
It might, in fact, be a complete pink herring. However observe that the Smile—Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood’s band with Tom Skinner—make use of an analogous course of: Yorke and Greenwood had been listed as officers of Self Help Tapes LLP, an entity fashioned quickly earlier than the announcement of the trio’s debut album in 2022. Prior to now, Radiohead have fashioned entities for touring and distributing a brand new report, however they haven’t but fashioned one for the aim of carrying on doing nothing.

Radiohead lifers will recall the fanfare, in 2016, when the now-defunct At Ease discussion board uncovered Daybreak Refrain LLP and, later, Dawnnchoruss Ltd., entities that—as had been speculated—went on to launch A Moon Formed Pool. Radiohead had based Xurbia Xendless Ltd., in 2007, earlier than releasing In Rainbows, and Ticker Tape Ltd. three years later, forward of The King of Limbs. Its newest entity earlier than RHEUK LLP was Spin With a Grin, fashioned six months earlier than the announcement of Child A Mnesia.
