It’s been three years since the last Radiohead LP – and don’t be surprised if it’s another three years until the next one, it seems.

Last we heard, the Oxford goliaths were going to be knuckling down late last year to start work on the follow up to 2011’s The King of Limbs. Not so, it appears: speaking to Drowned in Sound, the bassist (and occasional radio host) disclosed that the band are gently aspiring towards a new album, but that nothing is underway as yet whilst they enjoy “taking it easy”:

“It’s all up in the air at the minute. Thom’s just come back from touring Atoms For Peace and he’s having some quiet time. I’m sorry to be vague but we’re all just taking it easy at the moment. Just enjoying being at home and hanging out really.”

Greenwood also confirms that the band have no plans to tour any time soon:

“I wish I could say we were going to start work and put something out then spend 12 months on the road touring but we’re just enjoying being at home right now. We had the best time when spent the last two years touring The King Of Limbs. We all really enjoyed that. It was a really positive time. We definitely want to do it all again but we’ve just got to give it some time for the dust to settle. What I’m trying to say is everyone’s very happy and positive and looking forward to the next adventure.”

Greenwood was speaking with his ambassador’s hat on – he’s the spokesman for the inaugural Independent Venue Week.Head to the Independent Venue Week website for more information.
