Thom Yorke Unveils New Song 'The Twist'

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke unveiled a new solo song during a 25-minute DJ mix for XFM.

The track, entitled "Twist", is available to hear below.

Elsewhere during his mix for Mary Anne Hobbs' new show, Yorke played three Radiohead songs, including a Modeselektor remix of "Good Morning, Mr Magpie".

Other songs included Yorke's remix of "Cortical Songs" by John Matthias and Fela Kuti's "Roforofo".

In June, Yorke performed a surprise DJ set at the Glastonbury Festival, playing songs including Major Lazer's "Pon Da Floor" and "Undoing The Laces" by Nathan Fake.

It was the same weekend that Radiohead played their recent album "The King Of Limbs" live for the first time.

John Matthias (With Nick Ryan) – "Cortical Songs"(Thom Yorke Remix)

I like it, but for Thom's standards, its very weak.

He used it as part of a mix anyway, it was intended to be filler.

Yeah, not sure it's an actual 'song'...just a segue. I somehow doubt he'd consider himself saying "twisttwisttwisttwist" for 3 minutes a song.
