In the early hours of May 9, Radiohead released its new album
《A Moon Shaped Pool》
Radiohead is one such band: with every new album, we wait for new surprises. From the musical style, to the connotation of the lyrics, and even the distribution method, all aspects of the innovation of subverting traditional cognition.
And this one brings, but it is more of a return, even nostalgia.
11 songs, 52 minutes and 31 seconds, did not read the playlist before, until the end of the song, completely scalp numbness
——True Love Waits
A song that has been hidden in the snow for more than twenty years,
Regarded by countless familiar fans as a love song classic,
But never included on any studio album.
In fact, from the time the first song "Burn The Witch" was released on May 4, the breath of return was already smelled, and after the electronic smell faded, this group of elderly people is still so lively and cute.
Even the song "Burn The Witch" has been mentioned a long time ago, such as in the lower left corner of the cover of Hail to the Thief.
The most intimate feeling is because Radiohead is back together as a team.
Over the years, Thom Yorke himself has tossed and turned, and it is a solo album, and it is Also Atom for Peace; Jonny Greenwood has also played well in the OST world, and no one knows when Radiohead will reunite as it once was.
However, in less than two years, the album was made.
Before releasing its new album, Radiohead deleted the accounts of major social networking sites, even Sina Weibo.
This kind of appearance of How To Disappear Completely's behavior has once again satisfied people's appetites.
I didn't expect that after starting again, everything would be so familiar again.
But more surprises don't come from nostalgia, but from interpreting memories in new ways.
“very old and very new technology”
It's like the pre-released Daydreaming, constantly traveling through the dream-like MV and talking about the past. The whole album is more illusory and ethereal, moving in the subtleties, and looping several times will be sleepy.
"True Love Waits" is not as emotional as the classic string sweeping version, and for people who have survived some difficult days with this song, it is like reconciling with yesterday.
Cycle back for a few days, radiohead website and music networks are available
