Radiohead have confirmed that they've finished work on their seventh studio album.
But with the band still without a record deal, no release date has been set. Radiohead's EMI contract expired with 2003's 'Hail To The Thief' album.It's believed that the band are assessing their options - one of them being releasing the album through a worldwide series of independent agreements - and are considering moving away from the traditional promotional paradigm.
Guitarist Jonny Greenwood told 'Paste', "We've just had a meeting about [the album and its release plans] today. We're very relieved to have finished recording, now we have to decide what we should do with it."
As previously reported on Undercover, the album definitely won't be released in 2007.
Producer Nigel Godrich posted a lo-fi clip of audio samples on the band's dot-com in June, which hinted toward an upbeat release featuring lush strings, plaintive piano and even some grimy guitar.
The sampled tracks are listed as 'Open Pick', 'All I Need', '?(New Song?, I Froze Up?, Burn The Witch?)', 'Down Is The New Up', 'Arpeggi' and 'Bangers N' Mash'.
