Earlier today (February 18), Yorke and Godrich took part in a Reddit Ask Me Anything session, during which they compared working with Atoms For Peace after Radiohead to “eating ice cream after a lovely dinner”.

Yorke and Godrich added that they were ‘unsurprised’ by the fact that the Atoms For Peace album had leaked online.

Godrich later said – probably jokingly – that Radiohead have ’50’ new songs, when they were asked about Radiohead’s plans to return to the studio after this summer: “I like all 50 of the new radiohead songs,” said Godrich.

When asked what was next for Atoms For Peace and Radiohead, Yorke said: “whats next? well shit we havent seen each other in a LONG time, we will be in the same room again in april/ may i guess. i hope.” However, it is not known which band he was talking about.

In the Q&A session, Yorke spoke about working with Radiohead at Jack White’s studio in Nashville, saying the sessions gave rise to two tracks, including a studio version of ‘Identikit’, neither of which are ready for release. He wrote: “We was at AJck [sic] Jack Whites places… we now have two unfinished tracks, one of which is identikit. Its nice there, red and black and white nshit [sic]… err, we work slower than him (umderstatement) [sic]”

Yorke went on to describe his songwriting process thus: “this here is a hedge. im going to drag myself backwards through it”. He then explained that he finds it difficult to decide if a song is going to be for Radiohead or Atoms For Peace, saying: “its a grey area. getting greyer.”

When asked if Atoms For Peace plan on collaborating with Burial and Four Tet’s Keiran Hebden again, Yorke replied: “I very much hope so. Both me Kieran and Burial are all as busy/ vague as each other.. Well ok Kierans more together maybe 🙂 But we talks about it. in fact as usual i gotta write some words.”
