Radiohead is back with new music mere days after the band completely erased its social-media presence off the internet.

Radiohead have just posted a video for their new single, “Burn The Witch”.
If you think the music’s scary, then take a look at the video, which essentially recreates the cult 1973 horror movie “The Wicker Man” in stop-motion animation, right down to the famously terrifying final scene.
In January, eagle-eyed fans noticed that the band had quietly established a new company called Dawn Chorus LLP in October 2015 – which had previously done ahead of the band’s previous two albums.
Others speculated on Twitter about how the new album will arrive, with Radio One DJ Phil Taggart writing: ” #Radiohead will release their new album at midnight exclusively through a carrier pigeon sanctuary in Torquay #RadioheadReleaseTheories”.
In an Instagram post, long-term Radiohead artist Stanley Donwood shared some behind-the-scenes footage from the video shoot.
Last month, Radiohead manager Brian Message said the follow-up to 2011’s The King of Limbs would be out in June and with a sound “like nothing you’ve ever heard”.
The Claymation-style video has fueled speculation that a new studio album could be forthcoming.
Moreover, it seems like Radiohead is all for going old school again, suggests NY Daily News.
Tweets were also deleted from vocalist Thom Yorke’s Twitter page, although the Twitter accounts of fellow band members Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood and Philip Selway remain intact.
“The follow-up to the King of Limbs follows the band’s long-standing tradition of releasing albums via non-traditional methods”.
