Radiohead has been known for releasing new LPs in unusual ways. Hence, fans believed the email is a sign that they are about to release their ninth album.
"All indications point to the imminent release of Radiohead's ninth album," a fan said on Twitter. "Radiohead is trolling the internet without posting anything on the internet. Pretty brilliant," another one said.
Brian Message, Radiohead's manager, recently revealed the band is about to release its new album. However, the strange way Radiohead did puzzle everyone how the ninth album will be launched.
To recall, Radiohead's frontman, Thom Yorke, personally handed Radiohead-themed newspapers in record stores in the release of their album, "King of Limbs." The eighth record was introduced days after the band announced its launch with a music video of "Lotus Flower," The Guardian cited.
The seventh LP, "In Rainbows," was first publicized online, where fans have the freedom to buy it at any price they want. Lastly, Thom Yorke's recent project, "Tomorrow's Modern Boxes," can be downloaded from BitTorrent for free.
