Thom Yorke has released a new album, Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes.

The album is available to download using BitTorrent, the peer-to-peer file sharing software.

In a statement co-authored with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, Yorke wrote, “As an experiment we are using a new version of BitTorrent to distribute a new Thom Yorke record. The new Torrent files have a pay gate to access a bundle of files. The files can be anything, but in this case is an ‘album’.”

Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes is Yorke’s second solo album, following 2006’s The Eraser.

You can hear the opening track, “A Brain In A Bottle“, below.

The album, which costs $6, can be bought here.

It is also available on deluxe edition white vinyl, available from here.
