Radiohead’s Thom Yorke is set to release a new solo single later this month. But Thom Yorke is such an unwieldy name for a solo project. I mean, what does it really say about the music? Nothing. If he’s going to survive in the music industry, he’s going to need something punchier. Luckily, Adam Buxton (of Adam & Joe fame, of course) was on hand at Latitude to help him come up with something better.

Producer Nigel Godrich videoed the chat for posterity. Take a look:

‘Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses/The Hollow Earth’ will be made available by Radiohead’s W.A.S.T.E. online store on 21 Sep.
