Sub

 

absolutely down for this

 

subbin, can’t wait

 

hope this is some King of Limbs type shit. please

 

Gimme

 

yes yes yesss

 

Here for it

 

Where Tom Skinner goes, I go. Thom and Johnny are just a bonus haha

 

interesting to see that this is where skirting on the surface ended up

excellent set of tracks, hope we get an album soon. based on basically every thom yorke rollout in recent memory, i assume we will.

 

Idk I’d love an album soon but I heard most of anima live 2 years before it came out so we’ll see lol

 

If this is what will hold us over until the next Radiohead album I am totally here for it

 

I find Thom side projects to be somewhat hit or miss so this was a really pleasant surprise. More of the songs are great than not, and Jonny is a treasure.

 

Let’s gooooo

 

cannot wait

first song, two takes. caption said "look at all the pretty lights" but probably called "blue eyed fox"

Free in the Knowledge (turns out we're in this together)


you will never work in television again.. (promising the moon…)


this is what was written on the whiteboard:
blue eyed fox
porous

free in the knowledge
speech bubbles

 

im obsessed with the sons of kemet album and now I'm even more excited for this knowing tom skinner is drumming

 

Yeah I’m hoping this makes it out before the second quarter of 2022. need this.
