Thom Yorke’s new band Atoms for Peace doesn’t hit the road until July (those DJ gigs Yorke hosted with Nigel Godrich earlier this year didn’t feature the five-man crew’s other three members), but the Radiohead frontman dropped by Britain’s The Jonathan Ross Show on Saturday (May 4) to promote those shows. After a quick piano-side chat with the late-night show’s host, Yorke moved into a solo, abridged version of OK Computer classic “Karma Police,” ending the 90-second rendition by cheekily asking, “That’s probably enough, right?” The AFP leader followed with a delicate, somber take on “Ingenue,” a jittery groove off Atoms for Peace’s debut LP, Amok. It’s highly unlikely that either performance will be repurposed for a Ginuwine mashup anytime soon.
