Radiohead frontman’s score adds to “haunting and passionate” production of Old Times

A short clip of Tom Yorke’s Broadway music has been revealed in a promo video for the play Old TImes.

The Radiohead frontman wrote the score for the Roundabout Theatre Company’s production, based on Harold Pinter’s script and starring Clive Owen.

It’s described as an “unsettling drama of desire and blurred realities” and a “haunting and passionate” work. It’s currently in preview and officially opens in October for a 10-week run.

Yorke and Radiohead continue work on their ninth album, with no completion or release date announced.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
