XL Recordings Teases New Music from Atoms for Peace

Thom Yorke certainly likes to keep busy. In addition to releasing a new solo album and confirming that Radiohead is working on new music, XL Recordings has also teased forthcoming music from Thom’s experimental rock band Atoms for Peace. The group is comprised of Yorke, Flea from The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, Joey Waronker of Beck and R.E.M. and Brazilian instrumentalist Mauro Refosco of Forro in the Dark. Their debut album Amok was released in February of 2013 and, since then, the group has been relatively inactive. Well, XL Recordings sparked curiosity today with an Instagram posting that featured an image borrowed from 11 Paranoias and contained the words “ for the benefit of all mankind” and “save the date.” The cryptic message gives no word on when or what the forthcoming material is, but it is a safe bet to say the group will be developing new music as they have had a substantial hiatus. Stay tuned for more as this develops.
