As part of a compilation celebrating the 10th anniversary of Lex Records, Doom (formerly MF DOOM) has teamed up with Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood for a track, (unfortunately) entitled Retarded Fren. The compilation is called ‘Complex’ and features contributions from Gruff Rhys’ and Boom Bip’s Neon Neon project, Boom Bip solo, and Doseone and Fog’s Crook&Flail project, and more. It will be made available digitally on a week-by-week, track by track basis until mid-January, at which point the whole set will be released on picture disc vinyl.
