Thom Yorke kicked off a short European solo tour on Monday night with a show at Florence, Italy’s Teatro Verdi. As a special treat for fans in the intimate 800-capacity theater, the Radiohead frontman began his encore with a brand new song reportedly titled, “The Axe”. Accompanied on stage by Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich and audiovisual artist Tarik Barri, Yorke blended the song right into the namesake track of Atoms for Peace.

Yorke put out his last solo album, Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes, in 2014, but has been cryptically teasing a new release in recent months. Back in December, he debuted two more new songs, “I Am A Very Rude Person” and “Saturdays”. He’s also set to make his film scoring debut with Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria remake.
The Radiohead frontman still has a few solo shows coming up before he reconvenes with the band for their North American summer tour, so perhaps we’ll get more fresh material in the coming weeks.
