Once again, Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke is branching out. This time, it's with his first-ever classical piece "Don't Fear the Light," in addition to the new song "Gawpers."

Yorke premiered both tracks on BBC Radio 3's Unclassified program on Sunday (April 28), and now you can listen to "Don't Fear the Light" around 27:30 mark and "Gawpers" at 47:20 mark over here.

Both songs previously debuted during the "Minimalist Dream House" concert in Paris on April 7, though neither has previously surfaced online.

"Don't Fear the Light" is a three-part composition for two pianos, electronics and modular synthesizer. Yorke enlisted French piano duo Katia and Marielle Labeque to perform the piece.

So far, it's unclear what future plans Yorke may have for the tracks.
