Fans turn up Dawn Chorus LLP, a new Radiohead company
Fans on a Radiohead message board have found Dawn Chorus LLP, a limited liability partnership incorporated at Companies House on 7 October 2015. Its designated members are Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien and Phil Selway, all appointed that day, at 41 Great Portland Street in London, the address the band's other companies use.
A company has come before each of the last two albums. Going by those gaps, Clash expects a new album around March. Vulture is warier. The partnership has done nothing yet, it says, and a company can be set up for any number of reasons.
The name may be the better clue. In a 2009 interview that Fact has pointed back to, Yorke was asked for his favourite of the songs he was then working on, and named one called “Dawn Chorus”.
