The UN Climate Change Conference is taking place in Paris. To coincide with the conference, Pathway to Paris held a concert at Le Trianon featuring Thom Yorke, Patti Smith, Red Hot Chili Peppers' bassist Flea, and more. In addition to performing older material, Yorke performed two new tracks, which are reportedly titled "Silent Spring" and "Desert Island". He and Flea also joined Smith for a song. Hear "Silent Spring" and watch him jam with Smith and Flea below.

It's worth noting that at 2:20 of "Silent Spring", you can hear Yorke say, "This is Jonny's bit," potentially hinting that it's a new Radiohead song.

Yorke has been quite active in discussing climate change lately. He had a conversation with writer George Monbiot about it for a French magazine, and he DJed London's People's March for Climate. He also appeared on French TV to speak about it with author Naomi Klein. He performed with Flea on the show, as well.

The concert, held in partnership with 350.org, follows Pathway to Paris's 2014 event at New York's Le Poisson Rouge.
