Radiohead-free ‘Eraser’ in July

Radiohead lead singer Thom Yorke will release his first solo album, “The Eraser,” in July. Independent label XL Recordings said it would release the disc in Britain on July 10 and in the U.S. on July 11.

Yorke said the project was undertaken with the band’s blessing. Radiohead is now touring Europe and, according to Yorke, writing songs. After the tour concludes in late August, the band plans to return to the studio to record its seventh album.
