Rock band Radiohead and film director Paul Thomas Anderson recently released a minimal video for the latter's "The Numbers" song from their ninth studio album.

The song's complete title "The Numbers: Jonny, Thom and a CR78," is a reference to a Roland drum machine called CR78. The video ends with Jonny Greenwood turning off the drum machine, and Thom Yorke uttering "probably" in a rather enigmatic manner, according to Pitchfork.
