Radiohead frontman struts his stuff on new album

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has shown a new side of himself by showing off funky dance moves as the band gave a first taste of their new album today.

The singer is seen cavorting in a black and white video for the song 'Lotus Flower' which was posted on YouTube today.

The track is taken from Radiohead’s new album 'The King Of Limbs' which is being rush-released by the band.

The group were due to release their eighth album tomorrow but brought it forward to today.

They have again bypassed major labels and released it through their website.

They had a long association with EMI’s Parlophone label but opted to go it alone for 2007 album In Rainbows. A CD and vinyl version of the new album will be available in a few weeks through independent label XL, with a luxury box set to follow in May.

The band announced on Monday that the album was complete and ready for release with a message headed simply “thank you for waiting”.

The album features eight tracks with titles such as 'Bloom', 'Morning Mr Magpie', 'Feral' and 'Give Up The Ghost'.
