Colin Greenwood says Radiohead will regroup at the end of the summer

We're taking some time out whilst people are doing some other stuff, doing their own things,

Colin Greenwood⁵

Colin Greenwood has told BBC 6 Music of Radiohead, and the plan is to get back together again [at the] end of the summer.⁵

He says no more than that about what they will do, though NME and Digital Spy, reporting the interview, take it to mean work on a ninth album. On 1 February South Africa's Mail & Guardian, in a feature on Greenwood's work with the Children's Radio Foundation, said in its own voice that the band were on a nine-month break that would end in September, when the album would be started. In the same feature Greenwood says the only thing that has kept Radiohead from playing South Africa is fitting it into the schedule.

Thom Yorke told Fact in January that Radiohead were on a break, and that having some quality time to myself with all these unfinished ideas is really great¹.
