Thom Yorke, frontman for Radiohead, has produced the new cool music you should be listening. After Radiohead have been going more and more with electronic sounds in their past albums, Thom has released his debut “solo” (according to Thom he doesn’t like the word) album, The Eraser, which is a lot more electronic beats & sounds. The piano is also very prominent on most tracks and Thom’s vocals are as eerie and mystifying as ever.
This is truly amazing music, and having never been that big a Radiohead fan, I’m quite surprised at my sudden for the new album. This is not however anyone’s cup of tea and the older Radiohead fans will not appreciate this. You also won’t like this if you’re conservative or narrow-minded, because this isn’t Radiohead and it isn’t mainstream rock ‘n roll. Far from that…
Amidst all the good publicity that Thom has received since the launch of his album on 10 June this year, he has also indicated that he will not be leaving Radiohead and that the band are busy with a new album due for release later this year. So there’s some good news for those of you that can’t appreciate progression.
