Usually when an artist has a new album to promote they’re EVERYWHERE . . . clogging up your Twitter feed, posting non-stop statuses on Facebook, and showing up on every talk show.
But it seems like RADIOHEAD is taking the opposite approach.
Their website has gone completely blank and they deleted their Tweets and Facebook posts. Their profile pictures and cover photos have gone completely blank as well.
There’s no explanation yet, but they’re probably disappearing in a BACKWARD attempt to get some publicity for their upcoming album and tour.
Meanwhile, some fans in the U.K. did receive mysterious leaflets from the band which said something like “Sing a song of sixpence that goes, burn the witch, we know where you live.” That’s pretty creepy, so it’s good that they were embossed with a Radiohead logo . . . so it didn’t totally scare you.
The band has an old unreleased song called “Burn the Witch”, and some people think it could be featured on the next album, or that it may be the new album’s title. The audio below is a teaser from a show in 2006 when the band played the opening chords and gave an explanation for not playing it. Could they have been working on the song since then to re- release it many years later?
