Radiohead's Thom Yorke has confirmed the release of a new 12-inch vinyl single set for release later this month.

News of a Yorke single featuring two compositions surfaced on Tuesday (September 1), with the frontman now confirming that a double-A side featuring the songs 'Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses' and 'The Hollow Earth' are set for release.

He posted a message on the official Radiohead website, explaining that the single will be available from September 21 to order from the site and shops as a 12-inch vinyl single and download.

Both songs were produced buy long-time band producer Nigel Godrich. Multi-instrumentalist Yorke explained that although the songs were being released under his name, 'Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses' was actually co-written and played with Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood. He described the song as "a radical rework of an old tune that's been kicking around without a home since 2001".

He wrote that 'The Hollow Earth' was a "bass menace that was born out of the (2006 solo album) 'The Eraser' period, but needed a little more time".

Following the vinyl release, the single will be available as a regular download from October 6.
