Chrysalis Music Group Signs Thom Yorke

NEW YORK (Chrysalis Music Group) - Chrysalis Music Group is proud to announce that they have signed Thom Yorke to a worldwide publishing deal for his new record. Entitled "Eraser," the album was released internationally on XL Recordings on July 11, 2006.

Managing Director of Chrysalis Music Group UK Alison Donald and President of Chrysalis Music Group US Kenny MacPherson signed Yorke together for the world. "We couldn't be more excited about the opportunity to work with Thom - he's a very special artist," said Donald and MacPherson. "We also have a terrific, longstanding relationship with Courtyard Management and are looking forward to working with them again."

"Eraser" is the first record Yorke has made without his bandmates in Radiohead. Jon Pareles in his Sunday "NY Times" feature from July 2, said, "With and without Radiohead, Mr. Yorke is a purveyor of beautiful anxieties... the album is not the abstract sonic excursion some fans might have expected. Instead it's a collection of nine concise, melodic largely electronic songs: pop in form, bleakly claustrophobic in execution, despairing and catchy."
