After erasing itself from the Internet, Radiohead drops a chirpy teaser
Once you've erased your presence from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and your own website, how do you come back?
Well, with a short video of a clay bird chirping, of course.

Radiohead posted the video on its Instagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts -- the band's website remained empty. Check out the video below.
Pretty cool, eh? But what does it all mean? Has the band erased everything we knew about it, just so it can come back from the ashes, like a little animated phoenix? Will the new album, teased in March (along with the announcement of a world tour), be entirely composed with sounds of nature? Has Thom Yorke started taking claymation lessons?
We'll just have to wait and see.
Update: Hours after the bird teaser, Radiohead dropped another animated Instagram video, this one much weirder than first one. It involves masked characters and an apparent ritual killing in a slightly True Detective Season One vibe.
Some commenters have suggested that the band might be sharing a track list from the upcoming album, with this installment pointing to Burn the Witch, an old, unreleased Radiohead song. At this point, though, your guess is as good as ours.
