When we first posted about the imaginative and enchantingly talented British composer and musician Poppy Ackroyd, we never dreamt she would one day get involved with our monthly mixtape. Since then, she released an outstanding debut album, Escapement, where she explores and experiments with the piano and the violin, mirroring her intricate relationship with the two instruments. Also, our dream came true and this month she picked and mixed seventeen stunning tracks, for your ears to indulge on.
Radiohead announced today the digital release of ‘The Daily Mail’ and ‘Staircase’ next Monday December 19th. These two unreleased tracks were recorded earlier this year when Radiohead performed and broadcasted The King of Limbs as part of From the Basement sessions.
The live studio performance of King of Limbs: From the Basement can now be pre-ordered on Radiohead’s website. A DVD/ Blu-Ray is set to be released in the UK on January 23rd and in the US on January 31st.
This release will also include an unreleased performance of ‘Supercollider’ and a 32-page book featuring photographs by Steve Keros.
Radiohead have recently announced a world tour in 2012, you can see all the dates added so far here.
