Erased

////

Those asshats at Pitchfork have gotten to listen to Thom Yorke's upcoming "don't-call-it-a-solo-album" release, The Eraser, and have this to say:

"... we've had the distinct pleasure of hearing the album in its entirety. The Eraser is a sumptuous, Nigel Godrich-produced layer cake of plaintive piano, haunting synth squalls, and chugging guitars built atop skittish programmed beats and devoured by Thom Yorke's anguished ruminations on the pressures and paranoias attendant to fame and expectation. And no, it's not a techno record."

They run through the album track by track as well.

With this and Sufjan Stevens' new album both being released on July 11th, I've got a very happy birthday coming this year!
