Radiohead’s contentious relationship with Spotify appears to be on the mend. Earlier this week, the streaming service announced Radiohead’s new album, A Moon Shaped Pool, would be available on Spotify from June 17. Now, their last album to be withheld from the service—their 2007 classic *In Rainbows—*has finally appeared.

Radiohead’s relationship with Spotify became a heated topic in 2013, when Thom Yorke and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich pulled their music from the service in protest of its business model. “The reason is that new artists get paid fuck all with this model. It’s an equation that just doesn’t work,” Godrich tweeted. “Make no mistake new artists you discover on #Spotify will not get paid. meanwhile shareholders will shortly being rolling in it,” Yorke tweeted. In an interview, Yorke called Spotify “the last desperate fart of a dying corpse.”
