Watch: Radiohead debut new song 'Staircase' live (HQ)
'Live from the Basement'
Thom Yorke during Radiohead's performance of "Stairway"
Radiohead is finally bringing "King of Limbs" to television, but they're taking the opportunity to introduce a little new material too.
As previously reported, the British band took to Nigel Godrich's "Live from the Basement" series to play their new album, but a "Staircase" has ascended during the taping. The slow-burner never boils over and and features dotted vocals from a typically wiry Thom Yorke. However, the double-drum attack works especially well, considering the band let in a special guest for the performance: Clive Dreamer, who has played with Robert Plant and Portishead, sat beside Radiohead's own Phil Selway for a solid, thumping effect.
The "Live" part from "The Basement" has already come and gone, but BBC scored a license to the material and is broadcasting it in full on July 1.
A representative has not responded yet since being asked if "Stairway" will be part of a larger effort or will have an official studio release.
However, Radiohead's music from "King of Limbs" will be getting a new spin all summer, due to their new 12" single remix series.

They also played another new song for this apparently, called "The Daily Mail." Should be good.
