A new track from Thom Yorke, Radiohead's enigmatic frontman, has appeared online.
It's a jazzy number with warm vocal strands from the Brooklyn Youth Chorus; it slowly unfurls into something more overtly Thom Yorke-y as the minutes progress.
The eight-minute tune has appeared as part of the soundtrack for Rag & Bone's New York Fashion Week show.
Earlier this month, Radiohead's Philip Selway updated the world on the follow up to the art-rock legends' next record. Last year, Yorke released his solo triumph Tomorrow's Modern Boxes.
Check out the stream of "Villain" below.
