" Radiohead does everything on their own terms: They&amp;#039;re the godfathers of the surprise album, having split with their record label in 2003 and\u00A0abruptly self-releasing\u00A0their last two albums, In Rainbows (2007)\u00A0and The King of Limbs\u00A0(2011). They are long overdue for a new record. But the question is: Where, when, why, and how\u00A0will Radiohead reveal new music?\u00A0The band, mysterious as ever, provided a few more hints today along\u00A0with a series of big announcements. The band announced a painfully short world tour\u00A0that includes two shows at New York&amp;#039;s Madison Square Garden in July and two shows at L.A.&amp;#039;s\u00A0Shrine Auditorium in August, its first U.S. shows in four years. They noted on their\u00A0Facebook page that these and the other 18 shows (some of them\u00A0festival appearances) will\u00A0be their only tour stops in 2016.\u00A0 While that&amp;#039;s an epic\u00A0bummer for anyone not in one of those precious few locations,\u00A0there&amp;#039;s still some potentially\u00A0good news:\u00A0The band shared a new, square-shaped piece of artwork, which may or may not be the cover art for a\u00A0long-rumored and unconfirmed new\u00A0album.\u00A0Add this\u00A0to the list of\u00A0hints that band\u00A0members dropped in 2015 about an upcoming LP:\u00A0Drummer Philip Selway said that they&amp;#039;d be recording the album full time in September, corroborated by the release of photographs of\u00A0the band in the studio. Later, guitarist\u00A0Jonny Greenwood said much of the album was completed\u00A0but not entirely finished. In January, some rather crazy Radiohead fans discovered that the band had set up a new company called Dawn Chorus;\u00A0months\u00A0before the release of\u00A0both The King of Limbs and In Rainbows, Radiohead similarly\u00A0set up separate new companies. We&amp;#039;re no Sherlock, but this seems worth getting excited about.\u00A0 But they&amp;#039;re the most unpredictable band in rock music, and\u00A0anything or nothing could happen in 2016. But, based on the above evidence, we&amp;#039;re\u00A0hoping\u00A0(please, PLEASE) that there&amp;#039;s a new Radiohead album coming soon. Hell, knowing them, it could even drop this week.
