The band members came together last summer to rehearse for an expected reunion, Colin Greenwood told NME in an interview, “We got together in the summer just for a couple of days and just ran through all the songs and picked up where we left off in 2018. It was really fun and nice to see everyone." Although he did disclose in the interview that their rehearsal does not mean "a tour is imminent." He continued to say that “I think we’re still a band where people might want to know what might happen next. We’re very lucky to have that.”
Jonny Greenwood told NME that they had no plans to release new music as “We’ve [got] lots of individual projects going on at the moment."
