The album, entitled The Eraser, was recorded with the help of long-time collaborator, Nigel Godrich. York talked about his new venture, saying, "Inevitably it is more beats and electronics."
He added, "The elements have been kicking round now for a few years and needed to be finished and I have been itching to do something like this for ages. It was fun and quick to do."
The solo disc is not a sign that York will be leaving Radiohead. The band will be embarking on a European tour before traveling to America.
