Until that night the band had played only the Live at Worthy Farm stream from Glastonbury in May 2021 and three shows across one night and morning at Magazine in London at the end of January.
Thom Yorke is on guitar in the new song, with Jonny Greenwood on piano chords and Tom Skinner behind them on loose drums with a jazz lean. Its title comes from a YouTube video of the performance, whose uploader says it was written earlier that day.
The first 13 songs were A Light for Attracting Attention, out digitally on 13 May, starting with “Pana-vision”. The new song followed them, and after it came “Just Eyes And Mouth”, which Yorke told the crowd didn't make it onto the record but it's really good
