While people have been embracing slow living and devoting some time to tech-free activities at home within the past few years, 2020 has made puzzles immensely popular again—and Radiohead is even releasing a jigsaw art puzzle of its own. Radiohead's 1,000-piece puzzle, called the Radiohead Fragmentary Time Waster features the cover art from the Com Lag (2plus2isfive) compilation EP from 2004.
As the album art is made mostly of white and blue tones, it promises to be a challenge to put together. Notably, the album art puzzle is made from 100% recycled and sustainably sourced materials. The puzzle is made out of an FSC paper source that's decorated with water-based inks and the pieces are stored within a cloth bag inside of the product box.
