Thom Yorke mp3s from the Echoplex

Below I’ve posted the four new songs that Thom debuted last night at the Echoplex in LA. The first three are solo performances while Judge, Jury & Executioner is performed with the full band (which if you haven’t been following along includes Flea, Nigel Godrich, Joey Waronker and Mauro Refosco).

Thom Yorke – Open The Floodgates
Thom Yorke – Lotus Flower
Thom Yorke – Skirting On The Surface
Thom Yorke – Judge, Jury & Executioner (full band)

If those links die or you just want all four in one go, click here.

Judge, Jury & Executioner is the alternative title of Myxomatosis but it is in fact a brand new song. Now, if it’s a Radiohead song I’m not sure how I feel about another band playing it first…but maybe Thom is further along with a solo album than any of us know. The Eraser did come out of nowhere after all. Regardless, it’s great to have so much new material to dig into.

Favourite new lyric so far comes from Open The Floodgates:

Don’t bore us
Get to the chorus

There are tons of videos and other mp3 rips floating around At Ease (check here and here, for example) if you’re keen to hear more. Thanks to all the tapers, uploaders and sharers!

Stereogum also has some video and photos (including the one I stole above).
