Radiohead release new app PolyFauna
Radiohead have released a new app inspired by The King of Limbs. The app was created by a collaboration between Radiohead and Universal Everything, born out of The King of Limbs sessions and using the imagery and the sounds from the song “Bloom”.

You can follow the red dot.
You can wear headphones.
Download the app: iOS / Android
