It’s finally here. Radiohead have debuted the music video for “Burn the Witch,” the first single off their forthcoming LP9. While we mostly stick to film-related updates here, considering it’s a foray into the world of stop-motion, it makes the perfect excuse to share it today.
Seemingly inspired by The Wicker Man as it depicts a witch hunt in a small community, it’s directed by Chris Hopewell (who also helmed their video for “There There,” seen below) and produced by Jacknife. Check out the music video below, along with full credits and a cover, as we await more details on the upcoming album.
Update: Stream the song on Spotify below.
