Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood has told NME.COM the band have begun recording their new album with producer Nigel Godrich.
The bassist revealed that the band went into the studio to start work on the follow-up to 2007′s ‘In Rainbows’ last week (beginning May 11)
“We’ve just started work [in the studio] last week,” he told NME.COM. “It’s really cool and everything is sounding great. It’s early days and it is a bit like having a scrapbook at the moment because everything is up in the air, but it’s good to be back in the studio.”
He was quick to praise Godrich, who has produced every Radiohead album since 1997′s ‘OK Computer’.
“He’s brilliant,” Greenwood gushed. “He can make everything sound like it’s working together rather than us trying to kill each other.”
REM have also begun work on a new disc.
Peter Buck and bassist Mike Mills have tentatively demoed 14 tracks for the follow-up to last year’s ‘Accelerate’ LP, according to Pitchfork.
The pair have been working on the songs with producer Tucker Martine in Portland, without singer Michael Stipe.
The songs have a “broader” sound than the band’s last album, Buck revealed.
