Radiohead have been back rehearsing together recently, according to bassist Colin Greenwood.
The musician was speaking in conversation with the Hay Festival Querétaro via video call on Sunday (September 8), which took place in Mexico.
Speaking at the literature and arts festival about his forthcoming new photography book, How To Disappear: A Photographic Portrait Of Radiohead, Greenwood revealed that the band were all together just a couple of months back.
“We did some rehearsals about two months ago in London, just to play the old songs,” he shared during the conversation. “And it was really fun, had a really good time.”
The band’s ninth and most recent studio album, ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’, was released back in 2016, while their last tour together was in 2018.
The bassist’s comments will come as welcome news to Radiohead fans, after his brother, guitarist Jonny Greenwood, revealed back in May that the band were all busy on separate projects.
“Well, The Smile are on tour, Ed [O’Brien] is making another solo record, Colin [Greenwood] is playing bass with Nick Cave – they’ve just done five sold-out nights at the Sydney Opera House – so lots of music is being made,” Greenwood told The Guardian.
He went on to say that all his bandmates were currently busy, “just not as Radiohead”.
“We’re still talking all the time, we just need to make a plan and get some time together sorted out in advance,” the musician continued. “I’ve never been very good at that. Too busy dicking around in this studio.”
Back in November, Philip Selway hinted that Radiohead could be “coming back around to that point” of returning and reuniting. That came after the drummer had previously promised Radiohead were going to “get together” in early 2023.
Elsewhere, at the beginning of this year, Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien shared that he was “deep into” his next solo album. Back in 2020, the guitarist and songwriter spoke to NME as he shed more light on his feelings towards Radiohead as he pursued his own solo work.
Asked about whether the group had discussed any future plans, he replied: “We’re an ongoing band and have online meetings – there was a Zoom call recently. We’re talking about stuff, but for the foreseeable future everyone is doing their own thing. When it feels right to plug back into Radiohead, then we will.”
He added that Radiohead was a band of “chapters”, and that they were “wondering what the next chapter will be. That’s what we’ll figure out next”.
Colin Greenwood will be playing live with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds when they embark on their upcoming UK and European tour in support of new album ‘Wild God‘.
Meanwhile, Radiohead side project The Smile – comprising Radiohead‘s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood and Sons Of Kemet drummer Tom Skinner – have announced their new album ‘Cutouts’ (out October 4) and have shared two new singles ‘Foreign Spies’ and ‘Zero Sum’.
‘Cutouts’ marks the third studio LP form the band following ‘Wall Of Eyes’, which was released at the beginning of this year.
How To Disappear: A Photographic Portrait Of Radiohead comes out on October 15, and explores candid moments of Radiohead’s journey from 2003 up until 2016’s ‘A Moon Shaped Pool‘.
