The song was originally unveiled during a live performance by Radiohead eight years ago, in May 2006 in Copenhagen. The new version sees Jonny Greenwood, who has composed the Inherent Vice soundtrack, at the helm. Greenwood’s soundtrack also features Neil Young song “Journey Through The Past”, “Vitamin C” by Can, Minnie Ripperton’s “Les Fleur” and a host of original compositions from Greenwood himself.

Greenwood also provided music for Anderson’s last two films, There Will Be Blood and The Master. His Inherent Vice score features London’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The film stars Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Brolin, Owen Wilson, Katherine Waterston, Reese Witherspoon, Benicio Del Toro, Martin Short and Jena Malone. It’s due for release in the UK on January 30.
