Move over, Britney. There's a new heir to the Video Dance Break throne. And his name is Thom Yorke, lead singer of Radiohead.
Radiohead fans the world over awoke this morning to some amazing news: Radiohead's just-announced album The King of Limbs is officially available for download, along with a video for its first single "Lotus Flower." The song is a smooth rolling jam, girded with a low throbbing bass line and the kind of jangly, off-kilter drum track that Radiohead is known for.
Shot in black and white, the accompanying video for "Lotus Flower," for all intents and purposes, is a performance clip, featuring Thom Yorke in a steampunk-esque bowler hat and his, um, unconventional dance moves. Thom writhes and wriggles, marches in place, spins and pantomimes as he mouths his falsetto vocal. It's no Brian Friedman-choreographed dance opus, but for true Radiohead fans, it's just about perfect.
