NEW YORK -- Radiohead plans to return to the studio in January to continue work on its next album, which began over the summer.
"The vibe in the camp is fantastic at present," guitarist Ed O'Brien wrote over the weekend on Radiohead.com. "I am so genuinely excited about what we're doing, but for obvious reasons I can't divulge anything more."
Radiohead's most recent album, 2007's In Rainbows, was initially released as a name-your-own-price download through the band's website before coming out on CD a few months later.
Frontman Thom Yorke, meanwhile, played a handful of solo shows in October with a band featuring Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea and session drummer Joey Waronker. He is expected to return to the stage for more dates in 2010, but details have yet to be announced.
