Thomas Yorkshire, Commonly known as Toam Yoik from Hoxfordshear (or Thom Yorke even), continues to milk the legend of his 'The Eraser' LP with a gorgeously packaged 12" containing 'TheHollowEarth' from said sessions but - maybe to some - more significantly a Godrich produced collaboration between himself & Jonny Greenwood - 'FeelingPulledApartByHorses' which is absolutely fantastic. A bendy, high pitched dubby bassline playfully spars with a clattering breakbeat whilst his trademark mesmerizing vocal floats upon this wave of hypnotic, morphing electronics. It sounds like it has feet straddling either side of the millennium, coming on a few years old in style but sounding well box fresh in its production values. Apparently it's been kicking around for 8 years and this is a "radical rework" - a real treat for Radiohead fans as well as Thom's solo appreciatory (surely the same folk, natch). 'ThisHollowEarth' is more typical of material from 'The Eraser', old skool jittery electronica beats, brilliant dubby effects and a lovely, moody, fluid bassline shift under these beautiful multitracked vocals that totally stun you into submission. Some of THE best work i've heard from him. Excellent! In a black letterpressed heavy duty fine die sliced designer sleeve (phew!), through Stanley and Tchock.

What their label says...
"This is to inform you of the release of two more bits of work shortly. They are loosely under the Thom Yorke name this time, although these days its all getting kind of blurry. FeelingPulledApartbyHorses is written & played by Jonny and I and is a radical rework of an old tune thats been kicking around without a home since 2001? i think. The Hollow Earth is a bass menace that was born out of the Eraser period but needed a little more time. Both were produced by Nigel Godrich as ever. And mastered by Bob Ludwig. They are being put out on 12' with sliced sleeve by Stanley and Tchock. My sources tell me this will be available from the 21st of September if you're interested
And so it goes. all the best
Thom"
