Radiohead Announces New Album, "The King of Limbs"

In news that’s by now ubiquitous, Radiohead is releasing a new album on Saturday. As in February 19th. As in five days. It’s titled The King of Limbs. Wow.

Sadly, In Rainbows' "pay what you want" model has been abandoned, but the band is offering a limited-edition LP, chock full of clear vinyl and exclusive artwork. All that physical goodness doesn't ship out until May, but anyone who pre-orders the soon-to-be collector's item gets a digital download come Saturday.
