Right now anything related to Radiohead is going to gather some attention. However these tracks, although only dealing with one member, are well worth the look on their own merit. The electronic artists Four Tet and Burial have collaborated in the past, releasing a vinyl single for Four Tet's label Text Records. An obvious success, the two have decided to come together again, employing the vocals of Thom Yorke to boot. The two tracks "Ego" and "Mirror" hit the streets on vinyl last week and are, of course, already sold out. Fear not, as you can listen to both tracks below and grab them for free as well.
Both tracks tend more toward the ghostly dub-step of Burial than the sunny pastiche of Four Tet. "Ego" is a dance track submerged by twenty leagues with gasping beats that give way to the Thom Yorke's pointed croon and Four Tet's hazy accents. "Mirror" is the darker twin that throbs with a 2-step shuffle and aberrational voices that back Yorke's tortured moan. In other words: creepy, but in the best possible way. Grab both tracks below.

Great find, Matt. Four Tet has some fascinating work to his credit.
