Radiohead’s Thom Yorke is looking for a new name for his solo career – and has turned to comedian Adam Buxton for suggestions.

“Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses” is an older Radiohead track (2001), Yorke writes — that was originally the parenthetical title for “Reckoner,” a song that eventually emerged in a much different form as the centerpiece of In Rainbows. This “Apart By Horses” is a “radical rework” of that original track, Yorke writes, and will also feature Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood. As for the b-side, “‘The Hollow Earth’ is a bass menace that was born out of The Eraser period but needed a little more time,” Yorke says.
