Radiohead Release Surprise New “A Moon Shaped Pool” B-Side “Ill Wind” [Listen]

This week, Radiohead’s long-awaited special vinyl edition of their beautiful album A Moon Shaped Pool started shipping to fans. Among the goodies inside is a bonus disc that contains two B-sides: the unused James Bond theme “Spectre” that was originally released back in December of 2015, and a brand new song that has, until now, never been heard before. The song, “Ill Wind”, is a bass-heavy, uptempo ballad that continues AMSP‘s trend of using a stripped down, more acoustic feel, although there is a prominent synthesizer section in the middle of the track. Thom Yorke‘s swirling vocals are front and center (as usual) on the track, matching perfectly with Jonny Greenwood‘s mesmerizing guitar playing.

Fear not, Radiohead fans, because even if you haven’t purchased the special vinyl of A Moon Shaped Pool, you can listen to “Ill Winds” below.

As a refresher, here’s “Spectre” as well.
