Radiohead fans certainly have active imaginations. The rumored Wall of Ice EP, which many believed was set to surface today (August 17), has proved to be nothing more than a case of mistaken identity. Guitarist Jonny Greenwood has posted on the official Radiohead website in an attempt to clear up the mess.

“So here's a new song, called 'These Are My Twisted Words',” he says, confirming that the track that leaked last week is their work. “We've been recording for a while, and this was one of the first we finished. We're pretty proud of it. There's other stuff in various states of completion, but this is one we've been practicing, and which we'll probably play at this summer's concerts. Hope you like it.”

The Wall of Ice website, which appears to have been set up by either a prankster or an over-eager fan, currently bears the following message:

“Don't just publish bullshit only to get hits on your webpage.

Don't just create your own stories after reading one post on a message board.

 

Get your facts straight.”

Yikes. Radiohead is set to headline the Reading and Leeds festivals in the U.K. at the end of this month, which will be the first chance to hear some of this new material.
