ATOMS FOR PEACE RECONVENES FOR REHEARSALS AUSTIN CITY LIMITS FESTIVAL ADDED TO U.S. DATES

FINAL QUANTITIES OF AMOK LIMITED EDITION VINYL AVAILABLE AT http://smarturl.it/amokdoubleltdedition

Having completed a limited series of events commemorating the February 26 release of Atoms For Peace’s AMOK (XL Recordings) featuring Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich, the full Atoms For Peace lineup of Yorke, Godrich, Flea, Joey Waronker and Mauro Refosco will soon begin rehearsals for its first full-band tour since the one concluding at Japan’s Fuji Rock Festival nearly three years ago.

Since then, Atoms For Peace live output has consisted of  the aforementioned AMOK events, which featured Thom and Nigel spontaneously manipulating tracks from AMOK and Thom’s 2006 solo effort The Eraser, and augmenting them with live guitar and vocals, as well as the visuals of Tarik Barri–and more recently, Thom’s solo appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show in the UK, which featured a solo rendition of AMOK’s “Ingenue”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZl6BRY9IYQ

In a message released today, Thom said:

So far this year, Atoms For Peace has been about me + Nigel doing stuff like this in clubs in some of our favourite capital cities. But next week, Joey, Mauro and Flea all become free from their other projects and we start rehearsals together as a full band.  Touring proper starts in July –  the last time we did live shows together was at Fuji Rock nearly 3 years ago…

In other news, a fixed quantity of AMOK Special Edition Vinyl has once again been made available.

The demand for the double album, designed by long-time aritstic collaborator Stanley Donwood, hugely outstripped supply on AMOK’s album  launch, and so a limited supply have been re-released for sale: http://smarturl.it/amokdoubleltdedition

The Atoms For Peace tour kicks off  July 6 in Paris, with a U.S. run beginning September 24 in Philadelphia and including headlines at New York’s Barclay Center and the Hollywood Bowl as well as stops in Washington DC and Chicago before concluding October 17 at the Santa Barbara Bowl. The tour then resumes for a series of Japanese dates spanning November 18-23.

A note from Thom Yorke…

So finally I can tell you the Atoms for Peace record is coming out on the 25th February, it’s called Amok.

The front will look like theez..

The tracks are

Before Your Very Eyes
Default
Ingenue
Dropped
Unless
Stuck Together Pieces
Judge Jury and Executioner
Reverse Running
Amok

We put something new on the website for you to stare at etc for a while here… www.atomsforpeace.info

It’s a while to wait i know so i’m sure some other things will occur before then.

Atoms for Peace… members of staff

Me                            Vocals  Keyboards  Programming and Guitars
Nigel Godrich       Production & Programming
Joey Waronker   Drums
Mauro Refosco   Percussion
Flea                       Bass

We formed to learn to play The Eraser record, if you don’t know that, and discovered a really good energy doing that… and it fell into this record.

I’m still reeling from being on tour for much of the year but we are planning to get together and play etc next year ! We’re figuring all that out right now.

Atoms is a ongoing and open ended project, where it leads i know not for certain… which is what is nice about it.”

(Amok will be released in the U.S. on February 26 by XL Recordings digitally, on CD, Deluxe CD, LP and Deluxe LP, and will feature artwork from longtime collaborator Stanley Donwood.)
