"A band that has been synonymous with invention, innovation, and a once seemingly ceaseless charge of forward momentum is now standing still, a little directionless, and forced to look back. It's easy to forget just how much the band has slowed down in recent years-it's been almost a decade since their last record, and they have made just two studio albums since 2007's In Rainbows."
"A recent interview with The Sunday Times also revealed a band a little unsure of their place in the world. They confirmed there are no new songs and no immediate plans for any more, while remaining uncertain of the future beyond this tour. Ed O'Brien said he wanted to quit the band and almost did. Some of them have not spoken to one another in years, and they will be touring with separate dressing rooms for the first time."
Radiohead are touring with no new or recent material for the first time since their debut over thirty years ago. The band has slowed its output, with almost a decade since the last record and only two studio albums released since 2007's In Rainbows. Members confirmed there are no new songs and no immediate plans for any, and Ed O'Brien said he almost quit. Some members have not spoken in years and the band will tour with separate dressing rooms. The group faces sustained criticism and a BDS boycott call over perceived complicity regarding Israel and Jonny Greenwood's collaborations, and journalists were reportedly blocked from Madrid concert tickets.
