The Radiohead frontman says his band have no intention to release another al
bum and will instead focus on download-only singles and EPs

Radiohead have no plans to release another album, Thom Yorke has revealed. L
ong-playing records, it seems, have "just become a real drag".

Yorke's comments emerge just days after his band released a download-only si
ngle, in tribute to first world war veteran Harry Patch. This model of insta
ntly available singles and quick EPs is the way that Radiohead now wish to p
roceed, Yorke told the Believer magazine.

"None of us want to go into that creative hoo-ha of a long-play record again
," he said. "Not straight off ... It worked with In Rainbows because we had
a real fixed idea about where we were going. But we've all said that we can'
t possibly dive into that again. It'll kill us."

The problem isn't the format - "obviously, there's still something great abo
ut the album," Yorke said - but with the scale and consistency of vision tha
t is required. "In Rainbows was a particular aesthetic and I can't bear the
idea of doing that again. Not that it's not good, I just can't ... bear ...
that."

Yorke is already considering recording an EP of orchestral works. "[Radiohea
d member] Jonny [Greenwood] and I have talked about sitting down and writing
 songs for orchestra ... and then doing a live take of it and that's it - fi
nished." Previously, Radiohead's album-lead focus made Yorke reluctant to un
dertake projects like this. "You think, 'Do you want to do a whole record li
ke that? Or do you just want to get stuck into it for a bit and see how it f
eels?'"

The switch to short-form releases will be a change for Radiohead, who have l
ong been one of the most steadfast advocates of the album format. Previously
, the band's downloads were only available as complete albums. This approach
 initially made them spurn the industry-leading iTunes Music Store service,
which insists on selling albums as individual tracks.
