Thom Yorke has revealed a video for 'Brain In A Bottle', one of the songs included on the surprise new solo album he released yesterday (26 September).
The singer blindsided his fans yesterday when he made his new solo album, Tomorrow's Modern Boxes, available to download on BitTorrent, as an experiment to see whether file distribution can help bypass traditional record labels.
"It’s an experiment to see if the mechanics of the system are something that the general public can get its head around", Yorke explained in a statement. "If it works well it could be an effective way of handing some control of internet commerce back to people who are creating the work."
He has since revealed an accompanying video for the album's opener 'A Brain In A Bottle', which features twitchy close-up footage of Yorke, who is eventually revealed to be wearing boxing gloves and acting pretty agitated.
