Radiohead cover artist Stanley Donwood has revealed some clues behind the artwork for ‘In Rainbows’.
’In Rainbows’ will be released on October 10 and will be available as a download and a discbox.
While the download version of the album does not have a set price, the discbox, which will contain the new album, a second enhanced CD with more songs, digital photographs, artwork and lyric booklets all encased in a hardback book and slipcase, will cost £40.
For the cover Donwood has been trying a photographic etching technique, placing prints into acid baths.
Donwood also promised that the discbox version of the album was worth its £40 price tag.
He told The London Evening Standard: “It depends how rich you are! If you are on the dole, of course it’s a hell of a lot of money. But it costs about that much to go to a Premier League football match, and this project has taken an incredible amount of work.
