Thom Yorke and DOOM (formerly MF DOOM) are known fans of each other's music and a collaboration has long been in the pipeline (the former has already done a remix for the latter's "Gazzilion Ear"). That day has finally come with the addition of Jonny Greenwood, another Radiohead member, to the team. On the track "Retarded Fren", indie hip-hop's favorite villain raps in his characteristic on-the-verge-of-spoken-word flow while his two collaborators provide the sleak broken glitch-beat production with some pizzicato strings to take the edge off (don't go looking for a Thom Yorke chorus, he doesn't offer up any vocals on the song). The track will feature on a 10th Anniversary Compilation for Lex Records. Stream the track directly at this soundcloud link.
