Radiohead US deal announcement goes down next week

On the heels of Wednesday’s announcement that XL Recordings will distribute Radiohead’s In Rainbows CD in territories outside North America, the band also looks to be taking the indie route in the US. As widely speculated, rumored, reported, and dissected, an announcement that Radiohead will release their latest effort through a Red Light/ATO Records-affiliated label is expected next week, according to sources. Though, contrary to some reports, the album will not hit shelves until next year. When reached by EW, a representative for Red Light/ATO had no comment. Radiohead originally released In Rainbows on Oct. 10 without the help of any label as an exclusive download direct from their official website and allowed fans to pay whatever price they deemed fair.
