Hello everyone.

We've called it In Rainbows.

Love from us all.

Wait, it gets much better...

According to inrainbows.com, the album will be available as digital download or deluxe discbox. Both editions are available for pre-order now. Re: the discbox:

A SECOND, ENHANCED CD CONTAINS MORE NEW SONGS, ALONG WITH DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS AND ARTWORK.
THE DISCBOX ALSO INCLUDES ARTWORK AND LYRIC BOOKLETS.

The package is pretty (not unlike a rainbow):



Yep, discboxes = cool merch and bonus tracks. So what's the transaction fee for the download-only? It's up to you. NO REALLY, IT'S UP TO YOU.

Incidentally, inrainbows.com was registered June 15th. Administrative contact? Sandbag Ltd (W.A.S.T.E.'s sister company). Technical contact? Phil Allsopp (Radiohead.com programmer).

No label? Ten day marketing? Optional pricing? Scatter your brain on that, Rick Rubin.
