Thom Yorke’s (RADIOHEAD) side project ATOMS FOR PEACE have recently unveiled their debut single called “Default“.
The band’s debut album is due out in 2013 via XL Recordings / Remote Control. The project features Nigel Godrich (production & programming), Joey Waronker (drums), Mauro Refosco (percussion) and RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS‘ Flea (bass).
Thom commented:
You may have heard that I have a new project called Atoms for Peace. The name comes from some shows of The Eraser that happened a couple of years ago with Mauro, Joey, Nigel and Flea.
We got a big buzz from them and discovered loads of energy from transforming the music from electronic to live, and so afterwards, we carried on for a few days in the studio and decided to make it a loose, on-going thing. Immersed in the area between the two … electronic and live.
The first tune we’d like you hear is ‘Default’. A 12″ vinyl version will follow next month and an album will eventually follow that next year.
