Radiohead Doing Scanner? Thom Solo?

...
Dunno why I missed this item over at EW's Popwatch on Thursday, but they confirm that Radiohead is indeed doing some sort of soundtrack for Richard Linklater's upcoming film A Scanner Darkly, which was I posted as being a rumor last Fall.

Though the details are murky - will it be an entire score for the film? Or just a few of their songs mixed in? Here's what is said:
"A day after telling EW that Radiohead would be scoring A Scanner Darkly, director Richard Linklater's film adaptation of the Philip K. Dick sci-fi novel, Warner Independent Pictures is singing a slightly different tune. Instead of a full-blown original score, the film will feature music by Radiohead, including a brand-new track from lead singer Thom Yorke's upcoming solo release. Warner Independent is still working out what music will make the cut, and couldn't say if the tracks would be all new or a mix of old and new"
Wait - Thom has a solo release coming out??? MUST HAVE INFO NOW. Anybody? Bueller?
