MUSIC NEWS - Reports from the UK's BBC are that RADIOHEAD have gone back into the studio to start work on their follow-up to 2007's smash, IN RAINBOWS. Bassist Colin Greenwood said to the BBC that the band's already begun work on their eighth studio album. He said: "We just went in last week. It was really good. It was really noisy and chaotic and really fun. "We're at the stage where we've got the big Lego box out and we've tipped it out on the floor and we're looking at all the bits and thinking, what next?" They've again tapped producer Nigel Godrich (Beck, Pavement) to help out, but Greenwood explained that the band had no plans yet on the new album's release: "We've got lots of ideas but we don't decide what we're going to do until we've finished the thing. It's all up in the air, but it was up in the air last time."

Greenwood also said that it was too early to say whether any new material would make it onto their setlists for their upcoming UK festival gigs at Reading and Leeds this August. Previously, Radiohead has tested out new material before an audience before its official release, so we can only hope ! See full BBC story.
