Colin Greenwood tells Rolling Stone Radiohead may one day go acoustic

Colin Greenwood hears a mid-tempo acoustic ballad band inside Radiohead's guitar noise, trying to get out, and he tells Rolling Stone, in a short unsigned item in its 8 July issue, that it may yet get its turn.

If we record enough albums and we're secure enough, perhaps we'll do a Neil Young Harvest album.

For now the method is the one Thom Yorke describes for Pablo Honey: strong melodies, then as much pedal-driven noise as possible. The writer reads “Anyone Can Play Guitar” and the newer “Pop Is Dead” as songs about the treadmill of stardom.

The writer says the attention in Britain has come with an image of ruthless ambition the band never wanted. Yorke puts it down to a country obsessed with credibility, where bands pretend they don't sell records and people dislike any band that admits it wants to be big.
