The song premiered on 6 Music this morning and now they’ve dropped a new video
Earlier this morning, BBC Radio 6 Music debuted the OK Computer cut Man Of War. The track will feature on the band’s forthcoming reissue compilation, entitled OKNOTOK, due out tomorow (23 June) via XL Recordings. Their new Colin Read-directed visual portrays a man mysteriously being followed by an increasing number of people. Scenes flicker between day and night settings.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, frontman Thom Yorke detailed the paranoia he felt at the time of making OK Computer. “The paranoia I felt at the time was much more related to how people related to each other,” he explained. “But I was using the terminology of technology to express it.”
The group are set to play on Glastonbury’s main Pyramid stage tomorrow. BBC Two will dedicate Friday evening’s Glastonbury coverage to Radiohead. BBC Radio 6 Music are set to host a series of programmes celebrating the band. You can check out their full schedule here.
Recently, frontman Thom Yorke discussed burnout, Glastonbury and his score for the remake of cult film Suspiria on the radio station.
