The Agenda arrives every Monday, designed to give you the low-down on what we’re expecting over the next seven days in music. From new releases to whispers of what may be about to drop, through to big tours and anniversaries.
There’s no doubt what’s about to dominate this week’s musical agenda. Over the weekend, Radiohead stepped their LP9 hype machine up a gear.
First, can the message in the mail. Fans of the band around the UK receiving single sided flyers in the post, claiming they “know where you live”. They also referred to long-time Radiohead song in waiting ‘Burn The Witch’ and the phrase “sing the song of sixpence”. Naturally, one of the most inquisitive fanbases around started reading everything they could into it.
A little over 24 hours later, on International Dawn Chorus Day, the band’s website started to fade out. Over the course of a touch more than two hours, it finally turned to white, with social media accounts and profiles then similarly blanking out – old messages deleted.
That’s how they remain now, at the time of press, with most of the music interwebs primed for what comes next. You’d be likely to get extremely short odds on us hearing new music from Radiohead within the next week.

New releases
This Friday sees the physical release of Beyoncé’s ‘Lemonade’ – though if there’s much left to say about that at this juncture is open to debate. Completely fresh, White Lung’s ‘Paradise’ is certainly worth some time in the spotlight. You can read our 5/5 ‘Album’ of ‘the week’ review here. It’s a blinder.
