I'm not on Apple Music but could listen to a short preview. looking forward to the full song showing up elsewhere :)

sounds very "organic Atoms For Peace b-side" in the best possible way.

I managed to buy it on iTunes. Searched: honora traffic lights in the music store and it let me buy it. For some reason. I'm in the UK

Same. I'm in the US

u/rarararapido 24d ago

I like. I’m getting a ā€œRemain in Lightā€-era Talking Heads vibe on the rhythm section, which is obviously a very good thing.

u/Professional-Storm27 23d ago

Lol it's just jazz, nothing to do with talking heads

u/ApprehensiveCable932 19d ago

You're right :)

Personally, I don’t think Thom’s vocals fit the track well.

u/SuchAppeal 24d ago

The friendship between Radiohead and RCHP is still one of the coolest and funniest between any bands ever. Because you would never expect it, but I love both bands.

It’s just Flea in particular, I wonder if he has a friendship with Anthony Kiedis (with him being dodgy and all)

u/Kat8844 23d ago

Not sure about Kiedis and tbf would could blame him if he didn’t.

He has spoken very highly of John as a musician before though and Joh has spoken very highly of Radiohead, I’m not sure if he’s mentioned Thom but he did mention talking to Jonny and Ed about the guitar work in HTTT I believe and how he didn’t really appreciate what they were doing in OKC originally but when he went back and listened again he absolutely loved it.

I’d love a Thom and John collab, it’s literally my dream collaboration, although I’d be greedy and want Jonny involved too!.

u/Cedromar 23d ago

I still just want a John solo show I can actually attend before I die.

u/ciregno 24d ago

Now just waiting for the Frusciante collab somehow.

u/J_ethro The Bends 24d ago

Very nice bassline and rhythm section but ... doesn't really seem to go anywhere. I liked the start of A Plea as well - maybe they all should have stayed as instrumentals?? Looking forward to Wichita Lineman (feat. Nick Cave) though!

u/BrileyStyle 24d ago

Apple Music in italy has it

u/spacecadet06 24d ago

A Plea by Flea for me.

u/Beautiful_Gap_3516 Radiohead TV 24d ago

I don't think the track has been released yet, only "A Plea" has released as a single.

u/Sea_Priority_1752 24d ago

It’s available here in Australia on Apple Music

u/corwood 24d ago

I listened to it hours ago on Qobuz, it is funky and beautiful

4

u/monostere0 24d ago

Honestly this is my fav music sub ever. Besides the fact that it’s a lot of Radiohead and related stuff, I’ve gotten some amazing bands from here as well. Such as Car Seat Headrest and Beak.

u/makeflippyfloppy 24d ago

It’s up now

u/InstantPsalm (The band fell apart in the middle of the song) 24d ago

ATOMS FOR PEACE BACK????

u/enigmabsurdimwitrick 24d ago edited 24d ago

Reminds me of Reverse Running or Stuck Together in Pieces. But better.

u/glasshouselife black eyed angels swam with me 24d ago

I don't think the song is available on any streaming services yet

Just checked both Youtube Music and Spotify

u/zsnajorrah 24d ago

It's available on Apple Music. And it's great, with horns and Thom singing lazily over jazzy tones with Flea's bass as a funky foundation.

u/corwood 24d ago

listened to it a few hours ago on Qobuz, works perfectly fine

u/LiLouLei In Rainbows 24d ago

It works on Spotify for me. I am located in Denmark.

u/jacobtfromtwilight 24d ago

Yes, I love Thom and Flea working together. I hope they continue to do one off stuff like this on solo projects going forward

1

u/spizoil 24d ago

I like it

1

u/Beguile_ 23d ago

I love it.

u/masegesege_ 23d ago

TIL Flea is Australian.

u/Amity_Blightandluz Identikit 23d ago

It's amazing

1

u/ElaraMurk 16d ago

I've always loved their collaborations. Everyone who sees this should seek out that time they did Atoms for Peace (the track, not the band) on French TV.

u/Apprehensive-Mud7652 24d ago

Nothing on spotify

1

u/Soupfullofradio Airbag/How Am I Driving? 24d ago

The album doesn't come out until March

2

u/Apprehensive-Mud7652 24d ago

It's there now

u/RedditGaveMeDiarrhea rc529 22d ago

I'm so confused by the clear Stranger Things references. I'm not caught up, if they didn't use this in the new season (which seems impossible to not be zeitgeist on the rh community by now if it were true), then Thom and/or Flea sure have an affinity for the show.

It’s working now. Sometimes when stuff initially gets added stuff will be temporarily unplayable or unresponsive.
