Radiohead update ‘Polyfauna’ app with new music
As Radiohead enter the studio for their new album, they’ve given their own app a facelift.
September is marked out as the month that Radiohead go back into the studio to record the follow-up to 2010’s ‘The King of Limbs’. As a means of tiding things over - or perhaps a hint at what’s around the corner - they’ve given their fancy, bespoke ‘Polyfauna’ app a relaunch, with new landscapes and material included.
The app - which initially launched earlier this year - has a Version 2.0 which is “entirely new.” Several pokes at a screen and the odd tilt will spring the app into action, eventually revealing weird, cave-like imagery (created by Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood), plus the odd murky soundscape with Yorke featuring in the background. Previously, the soundtrack was reserved for material from ‘The King of Limbs’.
Over the weekend, Yorke tweeted photos of the app updates, hinting that new material was on the way. Back in March 2014, Jonny Greenwood confirmed that the band are “meeting up at the end of summer. “We’ll make a plan,” he said. “But, you know, we’re a slow-moving animal, always have been.”
Greenwood further confirmed that he’d been emailing ideas back and forth to Yorke, with the intention of fledging these loose ends out in September.
