A few days ago, Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood performed a song called "Arpeggi" at something called the Ether Festival. The song has a simple melody sung by Thom, and it's backed by a sequence of repeated tones played by Jonny on the ondes martenot. At the end, they're joined by an orchestra, which sounds great. There's a very ethereal feeling to the whole thing. The song is probably in the early stages of development, so it might not even end up being a song, but as an idea, it's very promising. Apparently, the band have been spending some time in the studio recently, working on some new music. I look forward to hearing more.

(By the way, I wish I could claim credit for the joke in the heading, but I actually saw it on some website back when the Hail to the Thief stuff was first being revealed. I'm not that clever.)
