Radiohead’s surprise new album, The King of Limbs, comes out today! TGIRhF, amiright? The album was intended for release tomorrow but has been set free today for the simple reason of, it was up on the site and ready to go. Sounds good to us. And to boot, Radiohead have released a new video for the single ‘Lotus Flower,’ featuring some well choreographed spastic dancing from Thom Yorke.

Ordering and downloading of the album is now available on the band’s site and though not free like their last lp, it features a very cool package as one of the ordering options, the rather reasonably priced “Newspaper album:”

Radiohead’s new record, The King Of Limbs, is presented here as the world’s first* Newspaper Album, comprising:
Two clear 10″ vinyl records in a purpose-built record sleeve.
A compact disc.
Many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork and a full-colour piece of oxo-degradeable plastic to hold it all together.
The Newspaper Album comes with a digital download that is compatible with all good digital media players.
The Newspaper Album will be shipped on Monday 9th May 2011 you can, however, enjoy the download now.
Shipping is included in the prices shown.
One lucky owner of the digital version of The King Of Limbs, purchased from this website, will receive a signed 2 track 12″ vinyl.
