Radiohead's new album is coming along nicely judging from new photos, Digital Spy reports.

The band are currently working on the follow-up to The King of Limbs, and it's going to get orchestral if pictures shared by their collaborator Robert Ziegler are anything to go by.

As reported by Consequence of Sound, the composer shared three pictures on Twitter showing Thom Yorke and the band in the studio as well as a string orchestra.

Unsurprisingly given solo projects, rumoured Bond themes and surprise festival appearances, the band have previously said the record is "by no means finished".

Guitarist Jonny Greenwood has revealed that Radiohead are reworking their 1996 track 'Lift' for their ninth album.

The King of Limbs reached number seven in the UK and three in the US when it was released in 2011.
