[editar] Visión xeral da banda

Fans, críticos de música, e outros músicos adoitan situar a Radiohead entre as bandas máis creativas da súa era, aínda que non sexan universalmente populares. En xeral, a súa música é moito máis elaborada ca a que fan outros grupos de rock, incorporando unha ampla variedade de influenzas de todos os xéneros e épocas, pero eles se identifican máis cos movementos de punk-rock e post-punk ca co progressive-rock.

Radiohead foi ás veces catalogado coma un "intruso" dentro da corrente dominante do momento. Algúns fans cren que Radiohead son os herdeiros naturais de bandas coma R.E.M., Pink Floyd ou incluso dos Beatles, inda que Radiohead non disfrutou de tanto éxito comercial coma eles (Dark Side Of The Moon de Pink Floyd vendeu ata o de agora 40 millóns de copias ao redor do mundo, mentres que o disco máis aclamado de Radiohead, OK Computer, vendeu "só" 8.4 millóns). Sen embargo, membros desas bandas citan en numeros entrevistas a Radiohead coma unha das máis grandes bandas de rock da actualidade.

Thom Yorke e Jonny Greenwood son os principais responsables das letras, Yorke iniciando unha canción e Greenwood desenvolvéndoa, aínda que a miúdo toda a banda participa. Todos aportan ideas en cada paso da escritura e grabación dos temas.

Os cinco membros do grupo son músicos enormemente respectados. Jonny Greenwood en particular é un músico cun talento e unha versatilidade impresionantes; el é actualmente compositor para a BBC e é un experto en numerosos instrumentos aparte da guitarra, notablemente as Ondas Martenot, harmónica e outros que nunca foron gravados. Ed O'Brien, aparte de tocar a guitarra, tamén destaca como percusionista.

Esta versatilidade e apertura na banda fíxose máis pronunciada co tempo. Especialmente nos últimos anos, os membros da banda foron acollendo roles cada vez menos definidos dentro da formacion. Por exemplo, o baixo Colin Greenwood escribiu a maior parte de "Dollars & Cents", unha das cancións de Amnesiac. Yorke cambiou cara o baixo na canción "The National Anthem". Nos seus concertos un pode esperar de todos eles, coa excepcion do batería Phil Selway, que toquen unha gran variedade de instrumentos.

O productor Nigel Godrich vén traballando coa banda dende a gravacion de The Bends, onde fixo de axudante ao productor John Leckie. Contribuíu significativamente ao seu son, e é a miúdo coñecido coma o "sexto membro" da banda. Sen embargo, despois de gravar 5 LPs e numerosos EPs co grupo, non participará no disco que siga a Hail to the Thief. O artista gráfico Stanley Donwood é outro posible "sexto membro". Yorke e máis el coñecéronse na Universidade de Exeter e produciu, coa axuda de Yorke, todo o traballo artístico da banda dende o My Iron Lung EP. Tamén ten parte de responsabilidade da imaxe pública da banda e algo de aportación nos temas e conceptos das letras de Thom Yorke. Yorke sempre se agocha tras un alias, a miúdo "Tchock", "Tchocky", or "Dr. Tchock", cando colabora con Donwood. Eles dous son tamén os creadores da páxina web oficial da formación: Radiohead.com.

As máis tempranas influenzas de Radiohead foron algunhas coma The Beatles, Cardiacs, The Smiths, Elvis Costello, Joy Division, Pixies, Talking Heads, Roxy Music, R.E.M., e The Jam, entre outros. Influenzas posteriores inclúen músicos de jazz coma Charles Mingus, Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman e Kraut Rock; pioneiros coma Kraftwerk, Neu! e Can, cuxa canción "Thief" foi versioneada por Radiohead en concerto. Artistas de música electrónica coma Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, e Autechre foron tamén citados como influenzas importantes do Kid A e Amnesiac. O traballo do compositor polaco Krzysztof Penderecki influíu nalgunhas das cancións basadas na corda coma "How To Disappear Completely", pero dun xeito máis significativo, o compositor francés Olivier Messiaen, quen fixo un gran uso das Ondas Martenot, é un ídolo dende hai moito tempo para Jonny Greenwood, cuxo traballo é tido moi en conta pola banda. Os membros de Radiohead son tamén fans do reggae, dub reggae, e musica soul clásica, particularmente Booker T & the MGs para Colin. A banda ten expresado a súa admiración a OutKast, quen fan un hip-hop da vella escola. Algúns dos artistas que invitaron coma teloneiros nas suas xiras foron Sigur Rós, Supergrass, Spiritualized, Sparklehorse, Stephen Malkmus (de Pavement), Low, Clinic, Four Tet e a Beta Band, entre outros.

the life of a cycle of a weirdo + to a retarsos venres porque tiñan clase todos os outros días. A primeira actuación da banda foi en Agosto de 1986, en Jericho Tavern, Oxford (a actuación foi gravada por Michael Gerzon quen era ben coñecido dentro e nos arredores de Oxford polas moitas gravacións en directo que fixo. A cinta forma agora parte da collección de Michael Gerzon na British Library, National Sound Arquive). Jonny Greenwood, o irmán pequeno de Colin, converteuse na última incorporación da banda cando Colin comezouno a levar aos ensaios coma un atallo en lugar de quedar na casa coidando del. Pronto empezou a levar o seu teclado e tocar algunhas partes que eles lle indicaban. Iso foi moito tempo antes de que Jonny se convertira nun membro oficial da banda.

Incluso aínda que leles estaban xa bastante seguros de que querían continuar a tocar xuntos, cando chegou a hora de ir á universidade, todos elixiron ceder ante a presión dos pais e seguir estudando, deixando a música para máis tarde. Durante case que catro anos On A Friday non fixo nin unha soa actuación, e ensaiaban so duran as vacacións. En 1991, a banda resurxiu para facer a súa primeira maqueta. A súa segunda maqueta — a Manic Hedgehog Demo (chamada así por unha tenda de discos de Oxford e sacada en outubro) — levou ao grupo a outra actuación en Jericho Tavern. Mentres tanto, a banda xa aparecera na portada de Curfew, unha revista de música de Oxford.

[editar] (1992–1995) Pablo Honey e The Bends

As cousas foron rápido en canto On A Friday empezou a ser contratado para actuacións frecuentemente. Varias discográficas amosaron o seu interese pola banda e finalmente acabaron por asinar un contrato por seis álbumes con EMI. A banda asinou non moito despois de que os membros se graduasen na universidade. O único membro de Radiohead sen título universitario e Jonny, o máis xove, quen abandonou ao súá carreira de psicoloxía en Oxford Polytechnic cando a banda foi contratada pola discográfica. Como resposta á un crític de Curfew quen calificou o seu nome de mundano, a banda decidiu cambialo polo título dunha melodía cod-reggae, "Radio Head" do álbum True Stories de Talking Heads. O disco e un dos favoritos da band e posteriormente convertiríase nunha importante influencia para Kid A.

Despois de gastar un ano tentando de facerse notar na prensa británica de múica, acabaron por darse a coñecer con "Creep" en 1992. A banda sacou finalmente á venda Pablo Honey en 1993, comezou a facer tours por América, e estiveron a piques de romper por culpa da presión. O disco de debut da banda foi un EP producido por eles mesmos. O EP Drill, que contiña catro cancións, saíu en marzo de 1992 con "Prove Yourself" coma sinxelo. Acadou o posto 101 na list de singles do Reino Unido. A banda contratou, entón, a Paul Kolderie e Sean Slade, quen produciran "Let Me Come Over", de Buffalo Tom. O album foi remetado en 3 semanas nun estudio de Oxford. Aínda que representando un estilo do que a banda se apartaría máis tarde, cancións coma o hit do auto-odio "Creep", "Anyone Can Play Guitar," "Thinking About You," e "You" foron populares. Debido a que o album continuou a facerse público ao redor do mundo, a xira de presentación de Pablo Honey chegou ata o seu segundo ano.

Nen bargantes, algúns críticos e compradores de discos os etiquetaron coma banda dun só hit debido ao éxito masivo de "Creep". A banda era completamente consciente diso, e comezaron a traballar no seu segundo álbum inmediatamente despois da fin da xira. A contratación dunha das lendas da producción, John Leckie, para facer o seu seguinte disco mostrou que os membros da banda evolucionaran coma músicos e Leckie contribuíu significantemente á son do álbum. "A mellor parte de traballar con John Leckie," se lembra Jonny, "era que él nunca nos impuña nada. Permitíanos decatarnos por nós mesmos do que queríamos facer". Os productores previos, Kolderie, Hufford e Slade participaran no proceso de mistura e selección de cancións. Sen embargo, as primeiras sesións foron extremadamente difíciles, xa que a presión por crear un disco que consolidara a posición de Radiohead no mundo da música tralo éxito de Pablo Honey xeraba altos niveis de tensión dentro da banda. Lembrando esas sesións, Leckie dixo: "Ía ser Sulk, The Bends, Nice Dream ou Just. Tiñamos que prestarlles a estos unha atención absoluta, facer de eles asombrosos, exitazos números 1 en América. Todos estaban tirándose dos pelos e dicindo, 'Non é suficientemente bo!' Estivemos traballando moi duro!". A partir de entón, a banda respondeu buscando un cambio de decorado, saíndo do estudio e facendo xira por Australasia e o lonxano este. O feito de probar novas cancións mentres facían a xira relaxou a atmósfera e axudou a facer o seu segundo álbum.

Hufford dixo que "iso lles fixo reevaluar aquelo no que eran bos e que lles gustaba facer. Tocar en directo de novo puxo a perspectiva de volta naquilo que perderan no estudio." O EPMy Iron Lung (1994) foi realizado entre os dous álbumes mentres a banda estaba de xira e amosou á banda nunha etapa de transición entre o pop simple de Pablo Honey e a profundidade musical acadada no seu segundo álbum. Despois de ter traballado as cancións durante a xira, volveron a Gran Bretaña e completaron o álbum dunha soa vez en dúas semanas, a finais de 1994. O disco foi rapidamente misturado e sacado á venda en maio de 1995. Non foi existoso ata o seu terceiro single "Street Spirit (Fade Out)", o cal chegou ao Top 5 no Reino Unido. O disco finalmente saíu das listas en 1996. The Bends drew heavily on 1960s influences as well as the then-popular music exemplified by groups such as R.E.M. and the Pixies. Songs like "High & Dry", "Fake Plastic Trees", "My Iron Lung" (the band's response to their big hit "Creep") and "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" were striking, original and profound, hinting that the group were growing as musicians and were on the way to lasting fame.

By early 1996, contemporaneous with the rise of Britpop bands such as Oasis, Blur, Pulp, and Suede, Radiohead had received much critical acclaim for the album which is now considered by many critics and fans to be one of the best albums of the mid-1990s.

[editar] (1996–1998) OK Computer

Thom Yorke dixo que The Bends tivo éxito porque "tivemos que poñernos a nós mesmos dentro dun ambiente no que nos sentiamos libres para traballar. E por iso é polo que queremos producir o seguinte por nós mesmos, because the times we most got off on making the last record were when we were just completely communicating with ourselves, and John Leckie wasn't really saying much, and it was just all happening." The band didn't know it at the time, but already one new song was recorded for the album: "Lucky", especially produced in September 1995 for the War Child charity's The Help Album, which was an indicator of the bands next steps. With the assistance of engineer Nigel Godrich, Radiohead really did produce their next album themselves. They bought their own recording gear and went to work on OK Computer in early 1996. By July they had recorded four songs with producer Nigel Godrich at their rehearsal studio, Canned Applause, a converted shed with the latest recording equipment. Their plan was to stay away from traditional recording studios and the bad vibes they'd previously set off in the band. After recording four songs, and having learnt from The Bends, they decided to perform the songs live, touring with Alanis Morissette, before completing the record. The rest were recorded in actress Jane Seymour's 15th-century mansion in St. Catherine's Court near Bath. Unfortunately, some of the same tension present during the Bends sessions appeared once again during the track selection for OK Computer. In the end the band learned that creative tensions aren't necessarily a bad thing, by the end of the year the album was finished and in February and March it was mixed and mastered.

O 16 de xuño de 1997 OK Computer foi editado e recibíu unha maior aclamación que The Bends, featuring prominently in many "best album" polls, then and now. It found Radiohead introducing uncommon musical elements, experimenting with ambience and noise to create a set of songs that many consider being a high point of late-twentieth-century rock music. It received a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Album and was followed by their big "Against Demons World Tour". Grant Gee, the director of the "No Surprises" video, accompanied the band on their tour and filmed it, which resulted in the "fly on the wall" documentary Meeting People Is Easy, which showed the band starting from their first and foremost tours and finishing in their late burn-out dates in mid-1998. During this time their performance at the Glastonbury Festival (shown briefly in Meeting People Is Easy), just after the release of OK Computer, was hailed by Michael Eavis as one of the greatest gigs ever performed at the festival. OK Computer has been named the best album of the past 20 years by US music magazine Spin, and the best album of the 1990s by the online music publication Pitchfork, as well as numerous other publications and public votes.

A banda editou dous EPs No Surprises/Running From Demons (1997) e Airbag/How Am I Driving? (1998), which differ only by a couple of songs. The more notable is the second, which has few songs that could best be described as a bridge between the progressive alternative rock of OK Computer and their subsequent experimental work.

OK Computer e´o último álbum de The Verve, Urban Hymns—were regarded as a boost to the already dying Britpop movement, despite the fact that both records departed from the style. Nevertheless OK Computer is regarded by some as one of the greatest rock albums and still tops various charts. It defined Radiohead as top superstars and elevated them to the pantheon of the greatest bands of 1990s, among such seminal acts as [R.E.M.]], U2, Nirvana e Pearl Jam.

Durante este tempo, Radiohead also contributed two songs to Baz Luhrmann's 1996 adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, "Talk Show Host" and "Exit Music (For a Film)". The former is b-side to "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" found also on the soundtrack to the film, while the latter was included in OK Computer.

[editar] (1999–2001) Kid A e Amnesiac

Exhausted by their fame and on the verge of burning out, following the end of the "Against Demons World Tour" in middle 1998, the band spent the next year in relative quiet. Thom Yorke admitted that after the tour the band was close to splitting up, and that he himself had fallen into depression for a time. Colin Greenwood said: "It felt a bit like we were in a dead-end street and that was really frustrating." The band only appeared at the Amnesty International Concert in Paris (10 December 1998), and Thom and Jonny performed at the Tibetan Freedom Concert in Amsterdam, where a new song, "Pyramid Song", made its live debut. Thom Yorke claims that New Years Eve 1998 was one of the most depressing days of his entire life. During this time he began a big friendship with R.E.M.'s frontman Michael Stipe, who had a big influence over his mental health and artistic career. According to Thom, Michael helped to overcome his depressive episodes.

The band however were still working on the follow-up, but rather chaotically and was less organised than previous times. Thom said: "I think it was the first time we didn't have a clue what we were going to do, what we were doing. We were just experimenting. We've been in this state for about a year, just fooling around, trying out stuff and listening to what we did, then it finally started to get into shape... after about 18 months." But, after O'Brien's collaboration for the BBC drama series "Eureka Street" in middle 1999, the band holed completely in the studio to record. The amount of the material was huge—about 40 new songs, from which they chose 30 for their subsequent two records.

Radiohead refused to make a follow-up of OK Computer in the same musical vein and chose to be even more ambitious than before, creating an experimental electronic album with minimal guitar work that complemented the lyrical and musical hooks of their earlier work with a more minimalist style. Yorke explained that the band wanted "to experiment and find new angles, leave the old paths. We tried to treat the album like a song, let the album develop itself rather than giving it a shape and moulding it into a shape, and it worked. It was a completely different way we used for work and it was rather liberating."

Their fourth record, Kid A, was released in October 2, 2000—three-and-half years after OK Computer. The band cited Alice Coltrane, Charles Mingus and Paul Lansky as influences, as well as the entire back catalogue of Warp Records. In fact, it has been rumored that Thom desired to name the album "LP4" as a nod to Autechre, as well as a means of denoting the somewhat experimental style. The album's arrangements have been likened to a meeting of Pink Floyd and Aphex Twin. In some pressings of Kid A the case includes a secret booklet, containing artwork by Stanley Donwood and Tchocky. Kid A received a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Album just as its predecessor did, but some critics complained that the record was too self-indulgent and radio-unfriendly. Despite this, Kid A is now considered one of their finest records and greatest achievements. The online music publication Pitchfork Media [1] picked Kid A as the finest album of the first half of this decade.

The follow-up, Amnesiac, which was released in June of the following year, comprised further tracks from the same recording sessions. Conceived as two separate sequences of songs, the two albums are similar in style and influences; linked by two different versions of the song, "Morning Bell." Amnesiac is often viewed by critics as the less accomplished of the two works and has been criticised for its lack of cohesion. However, most fans and a growing number of critics refer to this lack of continuity as a deliberate device used by Radiohead to distinguish Amnesiac from Kid A. The album did not quite match Kid A's sales, but came close. There is some argument among fans over which of the two albums is better.

After its release, the band staged their own mini-festival in Oxford's South Park, featuring Beck, Sigur Rós, Supergrass, Humphrey Lyttelton (who played trumpet on "Life in a Glass House", the closing track on Amnesiac), and themselves. Initially the band wanted to release "I Might Be Wrong" as their new single after "Pyramid Song" and "Knives Out", but soon the idea expanded into a fully-fledged live record. In the fall of 2001, they released their first live album: I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings, featuring performances from Berlin, Paris, London and a couple of other concerts as well as one unreleased track, "True Love Waits".

[editar] (2002–2004) Hail to the Thief

On the heels of the Amnesiac tour the band took their new material on the road in Portugal and Spain during July and August 2002 prior to recording it. The recording process of the album was more like The Bends sessions, rather than the slower Kid A/Amnesiac sessions. With the songs fleshed out and finalised during the tour, the band completed the album in a Los Angeles studio in a fortnight. In 2003 the band released their sixth album Hail to the Thief, which was rooted in less overt experimentation than its two immediate predecessors but was still a long way from their earlier guitar-driven material. The atmospheric lead single "There there" peaked at number 4 in the U.K. charts. The album's title was seen as a comment on the 2000 U.S. presidential election. Even though the band denied that they had any reference to George W. Bush's election win, and the subsequent Bush presidency, the view that it was might be seen as appropriate when taking into consideration the artwork and themes of some of the songs on the album, such as the track "2 + 2 = 5", which refers to George Orwell's political commentary Nineteen Eighty-Four (see two plus two make five).

Hail to the Thief gathered lukewarm reviews on release, mainly based on the fact that it was not considered 'genre-redefining' to the extent Kid A and OK Computer were analysed to be. However, in the greater scheme of popular music, many fans and critics consider it to be an on a par with Radiohead's previous work. The record revisits every era of Radiohead's sound, varying from experimental electronica to crunching guitars, and is infused with a certain swagger that band members attribute to the quick, energetic recording sessions.

After the release of Hail to the Thief, Radiohead embarked on a vast international tour, lasting about a year. The band showed a relaxed attitude during interviews and press conference and at the stage shows, they were dancing and grinning. The tour saw the band visiting Australia and Japan for the first time since their OK Computer tour in 1997–1998, more than 6 years previous. Many Australian fans were deeply upset by the cancellation of the last show merely hours before its scheduled start due to problems with Yorke's throat. Radiohead again, in June 2003, headlined the main (Pyramid) stage on the Saturday of the Glastonbury Festival. Like in 1997, the performance was greeted to huge crowd acclaim and positive press reviews. Also in 2003, Jonny Greenwood, with the help of his brother Colin Greenwood, composed, recorded and produced the soundtrack to the avant-garde documentary Bodysong.

About one year after the release of Hail to the Thief, Radiohead released a new EP titled COM LAG (2plus2isfive), while on their 2004 tour in Australia and Japan. With 10 tracks, COM LAG is longer than the average Radiohead EP. It features live takes, remixes, and different versions of Hail to the Thief-era songs, as well as a handful of acoustic and electronic numbers. The band finished touring and promoting Hail to the Thief in mid-2004 with an acclaimed performance at the Coachella Festival.

[editar] (2005–2006) Na actualidade, en proceso de gravación do vindeiro álbum

At first, the band stated that it's natural to record some more material on the heels of the previous record and started jamming in their Oxford based studio. This didn't last long, as Ed and Colin were expecting children, and the band wanted some time off after a three-album cycle. Free of any contractual obligations, Radiohead spent the rest of 2004 resting and devoting themselves to solo projects and recordings with other artists, only recording sporadically. They released the DVD version of their webcast television show, The Most Gigantic Lying Mouth Of All Time, in December 2004. Jonny Greenwood and Phil Selway had cameo roles in the film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, for which they recorded three songs, but their fictional band The Weird Sisters, fronted by Pulp's Jarvis Cocker, received only a few seconds of screen time. Jonny became a composer for the BBC, charged with creating classical pieces. He and Thom collaborated with many other artists for the Band Aid 20 project, playing guitar and piano, respectively. Template:Future album Radiohead returned to recording sessions in early 2005, although they recorded on and off in during the hiatus. The band got together back in January 2005 and Thom played a bunch of his new songs for the others. Despite having never heard the material before, the rest of the band jumped in and started adding their own parts. The whole recording process has been portrayed as "unorganised" and very different than the usual ways Radiohead have recorded before. Later Thom described this change to NME as the way the band worked during the gap of OK Computer and Kid A. Close collaborator Nigel Godrich won't participate in the making of the album, as it has been revealed in late December by Ed O'Brien. "It's not an end of an era, (but) part of what your realise as a band is that all those records you made with Nigel, apart from Hail To The Thief we were a little bit in the comfort zone," he explained. "That's why you make records like Kid A after OK Computer, that's why you make OK Computer after The Bends, you've got to do stuff that you're scared of doing. With Nigel, we've been working together for 10 years, and we all love one another too much."

In March 2005 Thom and Jonny played at the Ether Festival, unveiling a new song "Arpeggi", in the process. A month later, in April, Thom played an acoustic solo gig at the Trade Justice vigil at Westminster, playing a new song, "House of Cards", a 'lost' song, "Last Flowers" (shelved from the OK Computer era), and two other songs that have been performed before but not recorded, "Nude/Big Ideas (Don't Get Any)" (as seen on the Meeting People Is Easy DVD), and "Reckoner".

It's been revealed that it's unlikely that the band would re-sign with EMI. Their management also dismissed rumours that Warner Music were lining up to sign the band, saying: "The band (are) not looking for a record company in any way, shape or form. They are out of a contract, but they're not actively looking for another one. They're getting on with doing what they do."

In early September, the band recorded a new song; "I Want None of This", for the War Child album Help: a Day in the Life. It is a simple piano-based song, with a minimalist style & some haunting backing vocals. On September 30, Thom posted a photo on their own on-line blog of what seems to be a list of 21 songs for the band to work on. However, these are not all of the songs that the band are currently working on as they have many other tunes. A list has been extrapolated by members of the ateaseweb.com fan site. Titles for tracks, considered for the new album from the sessions, which is expected some time Summer 2006, include "Rubbernecks", "Bodysnatchers", "Solutions", "A Pig's Ear", "Burn the Witch", "Suit Don't Fit", "Down Is the New Up" (speculated to be a prospective title for the new album), "Morning Mi' Lord", as well as the already mentioned "Last Flowers", "House of Cards", "Reckoner" and "Arpeggi". The band are already discussing next year's tour dates, although no dates are confirmed. Thom said the following on the official site message board: "Next year we will play some small gigs. Actually maybe a couple of large ones too..." It is rumoured also that the band will be headlining at the V Festival in Chelmsford, UK in 2006.

Ed O'Brien appeared on the BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe show on December 21 to talk about Radiohead's upcoming record. "We are going to tour next year, definitely," Ed O'Brien told Zane Lowe. "Hopefully we're going to have a couple of tracks to download by about April or May. But we're going to go out in May; we're going to do some theatres because part of what we're doing is play new material. It's a good way to get your shit together." O'Brien explained the band will do UK and European dates in May before heading to America in the summer. He said the band hoped they would have around ten new songs in their set by then. In January 2006, a bid was presented for Radiohead to play a weekend stand at Chicago Millennium Park bandshell in summer 2006. The state-of-the-art bandshell, designed by renowned Canadian architect Frank Gehry, would have been the perfect setting for the concert. However, the city, citing a planned rehearsal by the Grant Park Orchestra, denied the bid. Radiohead still hopes to play Chicago and many other U.S. dates in 2006. Radiohead are also slated to play as a headliner in 2006's Bonnaroo Festival outside of Manchester, Tennessee.

Discussing the album itself, the guitarist said there was no confirmed release date or a title yet, but said that Radiohead planned more recording sessions in February. "We've been talking to (producer) Mark "Spike" Stent, who's worked with Madonna and Björk and hopefully in February we'll reconvene with him," said O'Brien. "We've got some great songs but we won't release something we're not happy with. The thing with Radiohead is that each record has a different sound, it's really hard finding something that's different and sits well with us." On 31 January, Thom posted on Dead Air Space that the band are in the studio "getting on" with the album: "So here we are with Spike Stent in our studio which now looks like NASA," he said. "And we are being taken to task. We are having to shake the dust off. No more bullshit. Stop answering the phones and thinking of excuses to leave the building. Instead get on with it." He added: "Jonny said today that since we were last Radiohead, between us, we've had six children or rather our partners have, this may perhaps have something to do with our lack of focus. But as this rock 'n' roll (sic) we ain't supposed to discuss this.. deny it every (sic) happened etc. What bullshit."

Apart from the few glimpses last year, it's quite difficult to tell what the next album will sound like. As Jonny Greenwood said earlier in 2005 that he was mostly listening to dub reggae back then, it is very possible that the album will have influences of that nature. Also, the use of orchestral arrangements by Jonny probably will give the album certain aesthetic feel. Radiohead are known for their experimental nature, so new sounds are expected. It's unknown when the new album will be released, but fans await it for the summer this year, because of the band's propensity for summer releases. Another possible time release is this fall as it is supposed that the band will observe fan's reaction on their new tunes and as they are perfectionists they would probably like to work more in the studio for some time to finish the album to their satisfaction.
