After some weird postcards received over the weekend and teasing us earlier today via Instagram, Radiohead have dropped a brand new video and song: "Burn the Witch." Despite the anxiously gorgeous strings, the incendiary title, (and the video, directed Chris Hopewell, which looks like a rather fucked up episode of English kids program Postman Pat meets The Wicker Man), Radiohead's new tune is a surprisingly uplifting affair.
Thom Yorke does his trademark echoed warble, singing about a "low flying panic attack," and those violins are so very Hitchcock-cray, but it really does sound like a band excited to return to the fray. Indeed, this is their first music since 2011's The King of Limbs and it's a fiery shot out of the gate.
Watch the video below.
"Burn the Witch" is out May 4.
