Jonny Greenwood has been putting out a ton of music recently, but as it turns out, the stuff we’ve heard is only the tip of the iceberg. Just over a year after Radiohead offshoot project The Smile shared their great debut album A Light for Attracting Attention, the musician revealed in an upcoming interview with Consequence that he and his bandmates Thom Yorke and Tom Skinner are still sitting on a “big backlog of ideas.”
“The frustration of having not had access to playing in a band for a couple of years [has] just built up a big backlog of ideas,” Greenwood said, alluding to the pandemic that essentially halted every band on earth. “We’re still firing off each other, and it feels productive. So, while that’s happening, we just wanna keep moving forward, I think.”

The Pretenders have teamed up with Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood for their new song, “I Think About You Daily,” the second preview of Chrissie Hydne and company’s upcoming album, Relentless. Stream it below.
“I Think About You Daily” is a tender, melancholy ballad featuring a gorgeous string arrangement from Greenwood, an accomplished composer outside of his work with Radiohead and The Smile. On the track, Hydne looks back at a relationship with regret. “Things that got away,” she sings. “I treated you real bad/ Now each morning when I wake up/ It’s you that’s on my mind.” Stream it below.
In a statement, Hynde said The Pretenders are “obviously big fans” of Greenwood and revealed how the collaboration came together. “I saw him at the Phantom Thread première where the film was running on screen with a live orchestra playing. We spoke afterward and he expressed an...

Earlier this month, Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood announced Jarak Qaribak, an upcoming collaborative album with Israeli musician Dudu Tassa. Now, the pair have shared a live performance video for the single “Ya Mughir al-Ghazala,” featuring vocals from Karrar Alsaadi.
Jarak Qaribak is billed as a celebration of “cross-border collaborations,” and you can certainly feel the intercontinental influences on “Ya Mughir al-Ghazala.” The Radioheadness comes through with Greenwood’s puttering drum machine, which anchors the track in a mellow electronic beat. His guitar then layers with Tassa’s, as an array of instruments — both Western and Middle Eastern — flesh out the transfixing tune.
“This song originates from Yemen, my father’s country of origin, and Kiri (Karrar) is from Baghdad, my mother’s hometown,” Tassa explains in a press release. “I met Kiri in Vienna and all I could think about was how much beauty, culture and humanity we miss while we are busy stressing differences,...

Over the last eight years, Jonny Greenwood has spent his free time at his own farm in the Le Marche region of Italy, where he’s been harvesting and pressing olives with family and friends in order to make artisanal olive oil.
This time around, the Radiohead guitarist has produced enough to sell at his band’s W.A.S.T.E. store for £60 (or roughly $75 US) per signed litre bottle. The Greenwood Oil label was designed by Radiohead’s longtime artist Stanley Donwood. Sadly, it can only be shipped to UK addresses.
In a half-apologetic tweet, Greenwood said he was “really proud of the final product” while acknowledging that it’s the type of thing that “rock stars of a certain age seem to drift into.”
“It’s an addictive thing though, harvesting and pressing this glorious fruit, and spending more and more time with Italian friends in this beautiful country,...

Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead has yet another new project on his schedule, this time a collaboration with Israeli musician (and former Radiohead tourmate) Dudu Tassa. The duo have a new album Jarak Qaribak coming out June 9th via World Circuit, and as a preview, they’ve shared its lead single “Ashufak Shay.”
Those familiar with Greenwood’s work already know he has a pretty broad spectrum of influences, but with Jarak Qaribak, the musicians really want to throw listeners for a loop: “When people listen to this music, I really love to imagine them thinking…what is this?” Tassa said in a press release. “It sounds 1970s, but there are drum machines, there are guitars but they’re singing in Arabic…what’s going on?”
Despite hailing from different parts of the globe, however, Greenwood and Tassa are longtime friends, which has lent to their trusting creative partnership. Jarak Qaribak...

Exclusive: Production to start rolling in November.
Israeli director Keren Yedaya is gearing up to shoot a big-screen version of cult 1980s Israeli anti-war rock opera Mami, which she has provisionally entitled Red Fields.
The 1986 original created political waves for its exploration of Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories, discrimination against residents of southern Israel and the country’s military aggression.
Yedaya is joining forces with Israeli rock star Dudu Tassa, his musical partner Nir Maimon and rising singer Neta Elkayam, best known for her fusion of traditional Moroccan-Jewish music with a modern vibe, to update the work to fit contemporary Israel.
Elkayam is set to play the titular Mami, a downtrodden young woman from southern Israel who moves to Tel Aviv with her war-damaged husband and is propelled to a position of power after an eccentric inventor rewires her brain.
The surreal story sees Mami, after she is elected to power, advocating for one...

This is the trailer for Lebanon, directed by Samuel Maoz and stars Reymond Amsalem, Ashraf Barhom, Oshri Cohen, Yoav Donat, Guy Kapulnik, Michael Moshonov, Zohar Shtrauss, Dudu Tassa and Itay Tiran. Lebanon is a personal film, a film about four boys who had never been involved in anything violent before and found themselves killing people. A film about survival against a palpable threat of death, a situation in which the conflict between their basic instincts and human conscious claims its victims.

Last week, we got to interview the director of new movie, Lebanon which is released in cinemas 14th May. The movie is a hard hitting tale about the men inside one of the tanks and almost all of the film is shot from their claustrophobic story within the tank itself. What makes this movie all the more impacting is that it’s based on the real life experiences of director Samuel Moaz who has experienced the war first hand. The movie stars Yoav Donat, Itay Tiran, Oshri Cohen, Michael Moshonov, Zohar Strauss and Dudu Tassa.
Our interview will go up next week but in the meantime, here’s some images and the trailer from the movie which will tell you a little more about it.
Synopsis: The First Lebanon War – June, 1982. A lone tank is dispatched to search a hostile town that has already been bombarded by the Israel Air Force.
