Radiohead is for the children! Thanks to a link from Radiohead superfansite Ateaseweb, we have just learned that back in March, Colin Greenwood and perennial producer Nigel Godrich asked 30 children from Sutton Courtenay, England's Matrix Music School to assist them in recording a track for Radiohead's forthcoming LP.

They said yes:

The results, as you're aware, have yet to be heard by just about anyone on earth. Still, though, you may now add one more item to the scant array of details one can gather about the next Radiohead album: it's not coming out this year, and it will (probably) feature children. The photos posted from the session on the Matrix website aren't exactly packed with clues, though there seems to have been a lot of clapping involved.

To reiterate: Unless they care to dash the hopes of 30 schooolchildren, Radiohead LP7 will have at least one track featuring children slapping their hands together, possibly doing more than that. Gosh, I don't even have to hear the album; I can picture it in my mind!
