According to a promotional CD discovered by the French Björk fansite bjork.fr, Radiohead's Thom Yorke will help out on the vocals on Björk's new single "Nattura".

The song shares it's name with Nattura.info, an Icelandic website in support of the growing environmental movement. Björk teamed with Nattura this summer as she joined  Sigur Rós at a concert to raise awareness for the organization.

The promo describes the song as "highlight[ing] a grass roots movement in Iceland to reclaim the country’s natural resources and wilderness from the hands of big business and pollution," and "more of a protest and rallying cry than a lecture." [Daniel La France]

This marks the second time Björk has worked with Yorke. In 2000, the pair made "I've Seen It All", a song featured in the Björk-starring Las Von Trier film Dancer in the Dark and included on its accompanying soundtrack album Selmasongs.

Nattura is out October 20 on One Little Indian.

The BBC reports that Radiohead has already begun writing material for the new album. The band's Ed O'Brien says: "We're still talking about doing some stuff and we're really excited about it. First we came off tour to do some writing and we wanted to just carry on doing it because it was so brilliant."

The band has some October dates in Japan, and after that it's hopefully preparation for another satisfying Radiohead LP.

In Jonny Greenwood news, his award-winning orchestral composition Popcorn Superhet Receiver (parts of which were included in There Will Be Blood), is being performed by The London Contemporary Orchestra and Fulcrum Point this fall. Here are the dates:
