“These are My Twisted Words” popped up on the internet last week rumored to be a new Radiohead song, possibly from an upcoming EP.  The band has officially released the song as a free download and Jonny Greenwood released a statement via his blog.

“We’ve been recording for a while, and this was one of the first we finished. We’re pretty proud of it. There’s other stuff in various states of completion, but this is one we’ve been practicing, and which we’ll probably play at this summer’s concerts. Hope you like it.”

So it’s settled. Radiohead likes releasing news songs simply because they are Radiohead and they can.
