The
band started work on the follow-up to 1997's critically acclaimed OK
Computer in late 1998 and recently finished up recording this Spring.
They started work at Medly Studios in Copenhagen, Denmark, and have since
spent time in Studio Guillaume Tell, near Pairs, and then to Gloucestershire,
England.
The band has been joined again by producer Nigel
Godrich, who also produced OK Computer.
The band has close to 30 songs recorded, mixed, and ready to be released.
Colin said in a recent interview that the new album will be short (about
45 minutes) and will be an album that you can sit down and listen to.
From what we know, Kid A will be experimental, to say the least. Fans of
Pablo Honey and The Bends may be in for a shock.
Colin said recently that if you liked songs like "Exit Music"
and "Airbag", you'll love the new album.
What will become of the leftover songs that didn't make it onto Kid
A? Some will become B-sides, while rumors of a series of EP releases
could come about too. We also have reason to believe that another full-length
album will be released as early as next Spring.
