Earlier this week, it was reported that Thom Yorke might be releasing a surprise solo single later this month. Today comes an official confirmation from Yorke himself, who says that the single, "Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses" b/w "The Hollow Earth," will be out on Sept. 21 at the w.a.s.t.e. store on Radiohead's website, and select record stores, and will be out digitally on Oct. 6. Here's what Yorke had to say about the single:

Dear Sir or Madam

 

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 that's 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...On sale in the w.a.s.t.e part of our website (with a gratis download.) Or you can go buy it in a good record shop if you are lucky enough to have one near you. Then later on there will be like a normal download thing i think around the 6th of Oct through the usual channels.

And so it goes. all the best Thom
