Radiohead is back with new music mere days after the band completely erased its social-media presence off the internet.
The band’s long-awaited album (which is still untitled) has been teased for months, and they finally posted the new single on their social media accounts Tuesday.

Called Burn the Witch, the song’s video is in stop-motion Claymation, and it’s oddly reminiscent of the movie Wicker Man. (You can watch it, above.) Before releasing the video, the band teased its fanbase with three Instagram Claymation videos.
The quirky videos use the same imagery as the mysterious paper leaflets that some British Radiohead fans received in the mail last weekend — one depicting birds and the other a witch-burning ceremony.

Radiohead has always been ahead of the curve; way before Tidal and any other exclusive streaming service, the band released their 2007 album In Rainbows online, telling listeners that they could pay whatever they wanted.
The band’s last studio album, 2011’s King of Limbs, was released for download as well, and it even had a “newspaper” edition.
The band’s official website is still down as of this writing.
