Thom Yorke blessed fans with a surprise solo release on Wednesday night. Radiohead’s enigmatic frontman debuted his new track, titled “Plasticine Figures,” for viewers of the “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon,” which is being produced through virtual video chats under coronavirus lockdown, then edited and aired later in the evening.
A number of musical acts, including Chvrches and Meghan Trainor, have already delivered low-key performances for the show’s “At Home Edition” since it began broadcasting from Fallon’s home in late March.
Yorke performed his song live via remote video call from his home. The haunting, three-minute tune was performed solo, with Yorke singing at his piano in a dimly lit room.
