Cranky bearded misanthrope and peerless musical genius Thom Yorke has this very morning dropped another track from his highly-anticipated forthcoming soundtrack album.

The tune, entitled ‘Has Ended’, is part of a suite Yorke wrote and produced to accompany soon-to-be-released horror flick Suspiria, a ‘reimagining’ – or ‘remake’, to you and me – of the 1977 celluloid classic by legendary Italian director Dario Argento.

May as well stick it on then…

Last month, you’ll recall, Yorke released the soundtrack’s main theme and keynote number ‘Suspirium’, a standard (for him anyway) piano-and-falsetto led affair. Today’s release is a wee bit more challenging – ululating one-chord drones swirl malevolently over a cut-and-paste bassline, coiled tight around Yorke’s menacing vocal entreaties. Chilling stuff.

Trivia fans rejoice, by the way: the drums are played by none other than Thom’s son Noah, who, fans will recall, was born right around the time Radiohead’s Kid A was released, #feeloldyet?

The eerie soundtrack will be released properly in full on 26 October (in time for Halloween, eh Thom, you shameless commercial Jezebel you), and will comprise ‘…a mix of instrumental score work, interstitial pieces and interludes.’

Oscar-winning director Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name) is at the helm for the flick itself, which centres around supernatural goings-on at an elite Berlin ballet school. Dakota Johnson has reportedly been working on her pointed-toes routine alongside Tilda Swinton, in what’s sure to be a visual feast for cult horror buffs.

Oh, and as if this film literally couldn’t be any cooler or of-the-moment, this new take on Suspiria also boasts a 100% female cast, with the sole male character in the ensemble (“Lutz Ebersdorf”) played by Swinton.

Yorke isn’t the only Radiohead member to have a crack at soundtrack duties. Lead guitarist and man-who-literally-never-seems-to-age-WTF Jonny Greenwood has received boatloads of acclaim for his There Will Be Blood soundtrack, and narrowly missed out on an Academy Award earlier this year for his sterling orchestral work on Phantom Thread.

Just bear that in mind next time you bitch on Twitter when they don't play Creep.
