Radiohead just dropped a new album

[tazber]

Another woozy experimental soundscape.

 

In their quest to break barriers they seem to have corralled themselves into a specific style of somnolent rhythms.

 

They've morphed into Sunday brunch music.

You must go to some odd brunches.  Totally disagree.  I think it's absolutely stunning.  Their ability to seamlessly meld bold experimentation with an innate sense of melody and pop songcraft has not diminished.  And I love that Jonny Greenwood's brilliant work in film and modern classical composition and arrangements have taken center stage on this gorgeous album.  There are apparently rumors that they might tour with the London Contemporary Orchestra.  To hear this music - not to mention classics like 'How to Disappear Completely' and 'Pyramid Song' with their full orchestrations makes me even more desperate for a ticket to their upcoming tour.  

 

The new video for 'Daydreaming' is directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, btw... 

 

 

 

And this one was directed by the team behind the 'There, There' video...

I'm enjoying "Daydreaming".

[HorseTears]

Me too, Q.  It's an early favorite.  Can't get those haunting strings, echoing the melody Thom hums, outta my head.  

 

Anyone think Burn the Witch is a parable about Matti Purrin?

Every new Radiohead album sends me back running to listen to The Bends.

[Roscoe]

An interesting and bothersome album.  Some moments of real beauty, but this being Radiohead, the beauty is going to get chilly and disturbing before long, and I mean that as a compliment.  There's a lot more to listen to and listen for than in their last album, THE KING OF LIMBS.  Mr. Greenwood's shivery string arrangements are a real accomplishment here.
