Radiohead will release their ninth album digitally on Sunday, they’ve revealed.

The band made the announcement as they launched a video for their track Daydreaming. The promo, which Radiohead teased earlier today, sees frontman Thom Yorke walking through a series of locations.

American filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson directed the Daydreaming promo. The track is also available now as a download.

The band have offered no further details on the follow-up to 2010’s King Of Limbs, but say it will be released digitally at 8pm BST on May 8 (Sunday).

Earlier this week, the band began to systematically erase their entire online presence, before launching a video for new track Burn The Witch.

The band’s manager Brian Message said last month that the new album would be released in June. Radiohead have a number of tour dates confirmed for 2016.
