I read he sent hours of stuff to his producer who then edited it down into structured songs, which made me feel much better about the pressure we all feel to make proper structured song out of our noodling. Love TY stuff, oh to be able to make stuff like that
I think the way he works, and his love of new tech resonates with a lot of us on here.
Certainly I love getting a new app and exploring what it can do, and I create bits and pieces of live jams which then get edited down and rearranged on the Mac.
Only difference is he gets to muck about with Octatraks and modular synths, and his noodlings are edited together in a proper studio with a top producer!
Success and self-belief also make for an interesting circle
I do agree about the re-invention, BUT there's a thread that runs through it all....maybe the voice and the lyrical intent etc.
He said he was a big fan of Neil Young in one of the recent interviews, and I hear a bit of that in his voice and his constant pushing of boundaries.
Yeah I guess there is a constant thread, or maybe it’s just there are some inner forces no amount of gadgets can hide.
Never thought about the Mister Young connection, but makes perfect sense....
Daevid Allen, Neil Young, Damian Albarn, Zappa, Robert Wyatt, etc. - always moving forward onto the next project. Yorke too. Love all this stuff.
yep, I think the voice and more so the lyrical content has become less and less interesting to me personally. I always hoped he might just use completely cut-up vocals without a discernible lyrical intent or no vocals at all.
Wow. Completely disagree!
hihih, yea I didn't think this view would be popular.
....and that's why any artist must just listen to his own head because we here in the General Public are all over the place
You're very welcome!
The Axe is my fave
Watched this interview recently where he's talking about Neil Young
same ! best song by far to me
Thom Yorke Montreaux Jazz Fest 19' playing ( i think ) all the ANIMA album
Thanks much for this. Really appreciated.
I remember buying Kid A when I was 15 and going 'what the fuck'. Went to the local cd shop to trade it in and the girl asked me 'Are you sure you want to do that?' "Yeah, I don't need a coaster." * 15 year old smirk * ....... * Uses credit to buy Descendents album *
I've since come around. Although I don't think they've ever topped it, band or solo. Just put on this latest solo album.
Haven't heard the new TY. I like some of his stuff, not all. Fan of Radiohead, but I honestly don't find myself listening to them that often.
I was out motorcycle camping last week and put on some Sigur Rós while enjoying my campfire. Was surprised at how close they sound to Thom Yorke's solo stuff. Or rather... how close Thom Yorke's stuff sounds like Sigur Rós.
Indeed. Where's the Nigel Godrich app though???
Same. It's really kind of amazing to me. By rights, they should be completely useless geezers by this point. Think, The Rolling Stones or U2 or any number of once-good bands that started putting out meh records after year 10 or so. Instead, at year 15 (from Creep's release anyway) they put In Rainbows!?! That already seemed impossible to me. To put out A Moon Shaped Pool 25 years after signing to EMI has got to be due to at least one of them selling their soul to the devil. There's no other possible way.
They're independently good. And some traverse the age because they start somewhat separate from it. Inspiring most certainly.
Really enjoying all these inteviews with TY, it's something totally new for me. I was never really that into Radiohead until I heard In Rainbows, and that one just blew me away on a lot of levels. They kind of fell off my radar until this Anima talk here on the forum, and now I see I have this huge treasure trove of material to go through.
If I liked In Rainbows a lot, what woudl you recommend next?
I first heard Radiohead while waiting to pick up my daughter from school. Paranoid Android came on the radio (just been released) and that was it, I was hooked.
I need it to sort out all these random clips I’ve recorded, and edit them into proper songs!
Though Ableton seems to be doing that job at the moment!
I bought Pablo Honey when it came out because of Creep and have pretty much been a fan of Radiohead ever since.
Kid-A was definitely a game changer. At the time I thought Kid-A was neither fish nor foul; It wasn't as experimental as the Warp stuff at the time and wasn't OK Computer 2.
But it has grown on me hugely since then and I listen to Kid-A far, far more than the albums that preceded it. On first listen it was like "where have all the melodies gone?". But they're there. It's far more subtle than OK C but after a few listens they had me hooked. Like most of my favourite albums, it's a slow burner. Many of the albums I loved on first listen become boring/tiring very quickly. The albums that took a little time to click have stayed with me.
Kid A is the most important album Radiohead have released I think. They were on a hiding to nothing trying to follow the monster hit that was OK Computer and they completely nailed it. But it took me and I'm guessing many others a fair old time to realise how right they were.
OK Computer, definitely (their seminal work), and A Moon Shaped Pool. Kid A is amazing too. Hail To The Thief is unfocused but has some great songs on it. The Bends has aged but is still brilliant guitar-based rock. The only letdown is The King of Limbs, which is a very slight record and only has one half (the second) that's good.
I love Thom Yorke - I'm in an alt rock band myself that are just setting up to record our first album, and I'm currently also working on some solo electronic stuff that's going to be like his in terms of combining proper vocals, synths and drum machines. So he's a great inspiration in terms of being good at working in a group while having a separate identity as an individual.
I think they should have changed their name after OK Computer.
Maybe to “The Thom Yorke Band”? (I’m being sarcastic of course). It would have felt like less of a f**k you to the fans who didn’t want to take the journey to anti-rock. It feels like they didn’t get a chance to peak before hitting the experimental phase of their career and I’ve since been left with the feeling of wanting more.
I like them now. I LOVED them then. To my ears, their music post Kid A can get a bit self indulgent and whiny but hey, they earned it. Although at this point, It does seem like Thom Yorke could fart in a jar and still be called a visionary and a genius.
They just don’t personally make me feel as much anymore is all. That said, there’s often a couple of nuggets on all of their albums since “the good old days”.
I wore out The Bends and OK Computer, I listen to the later stuff once or twice and move on. Go to a live show and the tracks from the The Bends and OK Computer always get the biggest cheers. I’ve been to shows where they haven’t played any of the early songs and it’s a bit like being at a wake.
I’m not mad, just disappointed.
Unpopular opinion I know. Bring it on..............😉
Ps Suspirium is brilliant!

I would jump to a moon shaped pool.
Feels like the more melancholic version of in Rainbows.
Imo they found the perfect blend of traditional instruments and electronics on these two records.
A moon shaped pool features a lot of strings, orchestral arrangements by Jonny Greenwood.
He has done some great movie scores, too.
Ok Computer and Kid A are the two most famous I guess.
The first one guitar heavy (very nice guitar tones!!) the latter one more electronic. They made a big change in stlye from OKC to Kid A
Kid A is still my personal favorite album ever
Thanks everyone!
Being a huge fan of Radiohead’s work I can only agree with all recommendations. But I am just really surprised no one mentioned Amnesiac here. I would definitely recommend this album to someone who enjoyed In Rainbows. Lots of experimentations (less than Kid A) and full of amazing songs. Pyramid Song is a master piece I put on the same level as Reckoner or Videotape.
Great point
