"Banging experimental Amish electronic jazz" - Radiohead to release Love Island soundtrack

Brit rockers Radiohead have been chosen ahead of The Cure and Nick Cave to record the soundtrack for this year's Love Island.


Lead singer Thom Yorke took to Instagram to say he is a big fan of the show and that he would “love to do bits” with any of this year's contests as he loves, “a cracking pair of jugs”.


The album, ‘Pie Her Off, Robot Angel', will feature several guest appearances, including DJ Khaled and Nicki Minaj.


In a recent interview with TMZ, Yorke gave a tantalising glimpse into what the upcoming record will sound like.


“There's a lot of experimental Amish electronic jazz and Himalayan classical dirge influences.


"I think it could be the biggest and best thing we've done since ‘Creep’.


"We're heading over to the villa to perform it live as a special treat for the contestants.


"I hope they're as wild as the fans at our gigs who nod their heads and clap politely."


The lead single, ‘Grafting’, featuring Flo Rida, has already topped the charts in nineteen different countries.


The video has also spawned a worldwide dance craze called the "mug off" which many have dubbed, "the new dab".


A video of guitarist Jonny Greenwood doing the dance has amassed over a billion views on TikTok.


The album will be available to stream this Friday.
