"Radiohead is not breaking up" - Yorke's handlers hasten to point this out, incidentally. As previously reported, Yorke released the FeelingPulledApartbyHorses/The Hollow Earth 12-inch on September 21. The single will be released digitally October 6. Both tracks were produced by Nigel Godrich and mastered by Bob Ludwig.
