Radiohead. Where do I begin? This is their second single in two weeks, following from their tribute to Britain's last surviving first world war veteran 'Harry Patch' and is a free download that you can get via the bands site. In true Radiohead fashion, this isn't really a song, its atmosphere. A strong drum rhyhtm gently ticks away in the background as delayed guitar lines plus other ambient guitar effects swirl around your headphones, just as your eyes close and mind begins to take on some weird psychedelic trip, the haunting vocals of Thom Yorke enter, softly coo'ing against the amibent background, drenched in reverb. The desert rock vibes of this track are reminisent from the 'Amnesiac' era of the band; spacious production, jangled yet bluesy guitar tones coupled with an eerie, ambient vocal delivery, all indications that we're in for a deeply heavy and soul-baring battering come next album....thank fuck they're back!Rating: 8/10
