About Tomorrow's Modern Boxes

Tomorrow's Modern Boxes is the second studio album by English musician Thom Yorke, released on 26 September 2014. It was produced by Nigel Godrich, with artwork by artist Stanley Donwood, both of whom have long collaborated with Yorke and his band Radiohead. The album blends Yorke's vocals and piano playing with electronic beats and textures. Yorke released Tomorrow's Modern Boxes independently via a paid-for BitTorrent bundle. He and Godrich expressed their wish to find "an effective way of handing some control of internet commerce back to people who are creating the work". The album was downloaded over a million times within six days of release, and became the most downloaded legal torrent of 2014. By February 2015, it had been downloaded over 4.5 million times. A vinyl edition was also sold from the official site. In December 2014, Yorke released Tomorrow's Modern Boxes on the online music shop Bandcamp alongside a new song, "Youwouldn'tlikemewhenI'mangry". A CD edition was released in Japan in 2015 by Hostess Entertainment. Retail editions were released worldwide in 2017 by XL Recordings.
