Thom Yorke is to release the controversial "Harrowdown Hill" as first single from his long-awaited solo album, it has been announced.



The Radiohead frontman releases "The Eraser" next Monday, July 10, and will follow it with the single on August 21.



"Harrowdown Hill" is the name of the location where Dr David Kelly, an employee of the British Government's Ministry Of Defence, was found dead after a media storm surrounding him.



Kelly is understood to have committed suicide and the track in question finds Yorke suggesting: "Don't walk the plank like I did, you will be dispensed with?"



"Harrowdown Hill" will be released on 12" vinyl only and includes an extended mix of the track plus new songs "Jetstream" and "The Drunnk Machine".

Recieved it through the post this morning in all its glorious artwork :D Can't say what I think of it yet but the initial feeling I get from this is Hail to the Theif/Com Lag EP.

Yeah, I had a listen to a couple of tracks on my mate's iPod, and I'd say it reminded me of Hail To The Thief a bit, also some parts of Amnesiac

Well, it took a while but i've finally absorbed what Thom's been trying to say. This album is fantastic :D



At first, I was forcing it on myself but I put it aside until It called out to me. Now, it's playing everynight, and everyday in my head. Genius.

I love this album already after only a few days of listening. Perfect life-soundtrack for me right now.

" Atoms for peace " & " The clock" are masterpieces !
