Atoms for Peace was formed by Thom Yorke of Radiohead, Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Nigel Godrich, known for his production work with Radiohead and Beck. They toured the US in 2010 and subsequently performed at rock festivals such as Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Fuji Rock Festival. They can now be considered a band of renewed interest, with music fans worldwide eagerly awaiting the release of their official recordings.
"About two years ago, Atoms for Peace performed live for the first time with 'The Eraser.' It was a really thrilling live experience, and it made us realize the immense energy generated when our music transforms from electronic to live performance. We then spent a few days in the studio, and decided to keep the songs we created there in a state of ongoing work. We were immersed in the space between the electronic and the live... We plan to release an album next year too." (Comment from Thom Yorke on the Radiohead website)
On Friday, September 7th, they released their first single, "Default," on their website. It also became available for download on iTunes. Immediately after its release, their official Facebook page was flooded with comments such as "at last!", "Amazing. Thank you!", and "another masterpiece," reflecting the fans' fervent excitement.
With their long-awaited first album set to be released in 2013, keep your eyes on the future movements of Atoms for Peace!
