An extension of Thom Yorke’s solo record debut, the Atoms For Peace project picks up from where the Eraser tour left off, aiming to form a bridge between the live and studio setting. Default shares a lot sonically with the material found on Eraser, blending unnerving percussive loops and frantic electronica to great effect. I wouldn’t go as far as to say ol’ mate Thom can do no wrong, but this... Read More

Once referred to as the Hunter S. Thompson of DJs, James Lavelle's presence in the landscape of electronic music is one that's hard to look past.  A name that's synonymous with his infamous label Mo'Wax, started when he was eighteen and home to releases from the likes of Dr. Octagon, DJ Krush, Luke Vibert, and his own act UNKLE, whose debut album with DJ Shadow Psyence Fiction was one of...

Thom Yorke : After The Gold Rush

This track has been kicking around on bootleg discs, P2P networks and torrent sites for roughly ten years, an aching cover of the Neil Young classic where Neil's fragile, quavering voice is replaced with a slightly lower, slightly sadder tone. There's an innocence to the original that Thom reshapes into weariness and nostalgia, to heartbreaking effect. A lot of people do simple acoustic covers... Read More

Husky : Dark Sea

  A beautiful track from Husky Gawenda and company, warm and earnest indie folk with a trembling reach. It reminds me - as this kind of thing always reminds me - of an album by a band called The Unbelievable Truth, which featured Thom Yorke's less talented but marginally better looking brother, Andy. Similarly sweet and adult contemporary-leaning, though significantly less nineties in... Read More
Radiohead : The King Of Limbs

For their most ardent fans, Radiohead's sublime seventh album - In Rainbows - inhabits a strange position on the Oxford quintet's evolutionary chain. Unveiled in 2007, In Rainbows diverged significantly from the experimentation that devotees had become so enthralled by and distilled the foreboding intensity that had underpinned Radiohead's emotional profundity since day one.   While...
