The Radiohead Retrospective | Episode #7: In Rainbows
Welcome back to the Radiohead Retrospective, where across nine weeks we fully break down the discography of perhaps the most influential and culturally important band of the last 50 years.
This week we do one of our deepest dives yet into the landmark In Rainbows, at first outlining its remarkable release and growing impact, before diving deep into all 10 songs, drawing reference to Thom’s growing lyrical interest in the story of Faust, and how the band’s remarkable shift toward a warmer, brighter sound relates to some of the sharpest writing of their whole career. It’s deservingly become one of their most beloved albums, and we pay it tribute as best we can.
Let us know what you think of this album, and this era of Radiohead, in the comments below!
Next week: The King of Limbs!
