RADIOHEAD THINKS THE INTERNET IS TURNING US ALL INTO CREEPS<\/h1>\n
\n

By\u00a0Amanda Petrusich<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>A still from Radiohead\u2019s new video for the song \u201cBurn the Witch.\u201d Radiohead\u2019s twitchy, anxious melodies express true apprehension about the future: both where we\u2019re going and, more important, how we\u2019re going to get there.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

On Sunday, Radiohead bleached its Internet presence\u2014its Web site faded to white; its Twitter and Facebook pages were scrubbed of content\u2014a move so blatantly counterintuitive that acolytes knew to recognize it as a portent. The week prior, inscrutable paper leaflets had been stamped and shipped to some fans, embossed with the band\u2019s toothy-bear logo and the words \u201cSing a song of sixpence that goes \/ Burn the Witch \/ We know where you live.\u201d A new album: it is surely nigh.<\/p>\n

Plucking an enigmatic postcard with the phrase \u201cWe know where you live\u201d from the dark recesses of your home mailbox might alarm anyone unfamiliar with Radiohead\u2019s elaborate, vaguely playful approach to the album rollout. Since the mid-two-thousands, the band has reconfigured record promotion as a kind of oddball scavenger hunt, embedding unlikely clues in unlikely places, a method that\u2019s been adopted by younger bands like Arcade Fire. (Whether you find it pretentious or pleasurable might have something to do with your tolerance for extra-musical shenanigans.) On Tuesday, Radiohead released the video for \u201cBurn the Witch<\/a>,\u201d also the presumptive title of its new record, and a song that has existed, in one form or another, since the sessions for \u201cKid A,\u201d in 2000.<\/p>\n
