Radiohead 'PolyFauna' App Gets An Update; Fans Await As Rock Band's App To Feature New Music And Landscapes

Radiohead PolyFauna app gets an update much to the delight of fans who await new music and landscapes from the program.

According to Rolling Stone magazine, the Radiohead PolyFauna app, which previously featured music and images from "The King of Limbs," has been updated with original, unheard atmospheric songs and "trippy terrains."

The app, which Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke described as a project that came "from an interest in early computer-life experiments and the imagined creatures of our subconscious," allows users to get different views of the featured landscapes and draw on them, while having eerie music playing in the background.

While PolyFauna, reportedly inspired by Bjork's "Biophilia," is packed with more features from the update including unheard vocals by Yorke, it still causes users' phone batteries to drain faster.

Yorke recently took to his official Twitter account to tease about the updates of the app, posting a number of tweets including images to be included in the update, as well as conceptual sketches, drawings and paintings made by Radiohead aartist Stanley Donwood, producer Nigel Godrich and digital arts studio Universal Everything.

The app, which was launched in February 2014, is the band's latest musical effort following their 2011 album "The King of Limbs." The band went on a hiatus and took on personal projects. Yorke was busy with a record with his other band Atoms for Peace, guitarist Jonny Greenwood scored Paul Thomas Anderson films "The Master" and "Inherent Vice," and drummer Philip Selway worked on his second solo album called "Waterhouse" during the break.

Meanwhile, the Radiohead PolyFauna app updates were reportedly released at the same time the band prepares for their ninth studio album. "We're going to start up in September, playing, rehearsing and recording and see how it's sounding," said Greenwood in an interview for Mary Anne Hobbes' BBC 6Music show in July.
