Radiohead’s ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’ will be on Spotify next week

Spotify have confirmed that Radiohead’s new album ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’ will be available on the service next week.

From Friday 17th June, fans will be able to stream the record on Spotify. Previously, the release was available only via Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon, Google Play and via Radiohead’s W.A.S.T.E store.

The band have history with Spotify. Frontman Thom Yorke said in 2013: “I feel like as musicians we need to fight the Spotify thing. I feel that in some ways what’s happening in the mainstream is the last gasp of the old industry. Once that does finally die, which it will, something else will happen. But it’s all about how we change the way we listen to music, it’s all about what happens next in terms of technology, in terms of how people talk to each other about music, and a lot of it could be really fucking bad.” At the time, he commented on streaming: “To me this isn’t the mainstream, this is is like the last fart, the last desperate fart of a dying corpse. What happens next is the important part.”
