Artist > Thom Yorke
Thom Yorke has released his new third album today, June 27 which was co-writen by Yorke and his longtime collaborator Nigel Godrich. The record features Yorke augmenting the spare, glitchy electronics of his previous solo work with grandiose orchestral arrangements that recall Radiohead’s most recent opus, A Moon Shaped Pool.
Yorke and Paul Thomas Anderson have also collaborated on a short film, or “one reeler,” in conjunction with the album release. It will be available on Netflix and play in select IMAX theaters.
The album includes 9 tracks and composed by Yorke and Nige Godrich. Yorke said the themes include anxiety and dystopia.
“For some reason I thought a really good way of expressing anxiety creatively was in a dystopian environment,” said Yorke.
The 48-minute album is rebuked by an ominous techno pulse, as Yorke’s voice floats and dances and drones high above it.
