Atoms for Peace

Yesterday we mentioned that Thom Yorke's Atoms for Peace project (which also includes Nigel Godrich and Flea) dropped their new single, "Default," on iTunes and that the single for the track will be out on September 10 via XL. You can now listen to that song below. Thom also announced that he plans to release a full length album with the project in 2013. Here's what he said today:

You may have heard that I have a new project called Atoms for Peace.

The name comes from some shows of The Eraser that happened a couple of years ago with Mauro, Joey, Nigel and Flea.

We got a big buzz from them and discovered loads of energy from transforming the music from electronic to live, and so afterwards, we carried on for a few days in the studio and decided to make it a loose, on-going thing.
Immersed in the area between the two...electronic and live.

The first tune we'd like you to hear is Default
A 12" vinyl version will follow next month and an album will eventually follow that next year.
Thom

As mentioned, Atoms for Peace will DJ Warm Up at MoMA PS1 on Saturday (9/8) with Holy Other, Maria Minerva, Rustie, and Justin Strauss. Advance tickets for that show are sold out but a limited number will be available at the door starting at noon.

In related news, Radiohead performed at the Moody Theater in Austin this past March for an episode of Austin City Limits. Last night (9/6), it aired on a screen in Austin's Republic Square Park for the first installament of ACL in the Park. The performance will air on PBS stations for the 38th season of Austin City Limits on October 6. Other performances which will air this season include Bon Iver (10/13) and The Shins (10/27).

Listen to Atoms for Peace's "Default" below.

So how many Radiohead fans will be camping out at this place tomorrow morning. If those fans aren't dancing when Atoms for Peace goes on, I'm going to throw a fit!

Guarantee there will be so many Radiohead fans just taking pictures of Thom and Nigel tomorrow....

^usually 7:30pm.

Rustie and Holy Other make a great line-up, but totally not going to PS-1 tomorrow. PS-1 used to be fun a few years ago when no one went. Now it sells out. As a sold out venue PS-1 totally sucks. There is 0 space by the stage, the sound quality sucks (well, it always did), and 30-45 minute beer lines are unacceptable for a ticketed show.

The PS1 warm up parties are actually a great metaphor for what has happened to Williamsburg. Sure, there's some good talent and the occasional draw that you don't want to miss, but the majority of the crowd there are fucking losers or downright repugnant people who are just late to the party and have ruined the scene completely.

Is it easy to sneak a flask in here?

Posted by Anonymous | September 7, 2012 5:27 PM

^ Easily. They never search in the times I have gone. However, I am not a girl, and I don't tote a purse.

@4:08: 3:31 speaking. Remember Studio B? Great venue. That was until it was shut down because of the same repugnant ass holes you speak of. Four years later, those same ass holes are now the one's who make my PS-1 experience miserable.

PS-1 is a museum, not a secret

Thanks brooklynvegan for condoning vile, racist commentary and allowing these pieces of shit to freely post this bile!

There really isn't even any guarantee Thom is going to be there. Yes it makes sense that he would but no where does it say Thom Yorke DJ set. Talk about a jokester.

@9:07 DFA records tweeted that it is going to be Thom and Nigel
