When Thom Yorke posted a photo of a blank vinyl earlier this week, speculation was rife that new material was on its way.

We haven't had to wait long at all, as the Radiohead frontman today unleashed his new solo effort, Tomorrow's Modern Boxes.

Interestingly, the release is available to download through BitTorrent.

By way of explanation for the move, an email distributed today reads: "If it works well it could be an effective way of handing some control of internet commerce back to people who are creating the work, enabling those people who make either music, video or any other kind of digital content to sell it themselves. Bypassing the self elected gate-keepers. If it works anyone can do this exactly as we have done."

Check out 'A Brain In A Bottle' below, as well as the link to download the album in full.
