Music streaming platform Spotify has responded to the absence of Radiohead‘s new album ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’ from its service.
The band’s ninth album, and first since 2011, was made available online on Sunday (May 8) and will be released physically on June 17. It is currently streaming via Spotify’s rivals, Apple Music and Tidal.
Responding to the absence of the album from its service, a representative for Spotify told Billboard: “Radiohead’s new singles ‘Burn the Witch’ and ‘Daydreaming’ are already available on Spotify, and we look forward to making the rest of A Moon Shaped Pool available on Spotify as soon as we can.”
The band’s frontman Thom Yorke made headlines in 2013 by calling Spotify “the last desperate fart of a dying corpse”. That year saw Yorke and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich remove their music from Spotify.
