Thom Yorke took a break for a new Radiohead album made with a group of famous friends. In a lazy mood, optimistic, talking about music and the Internet, Michael Stipe ... dance and surf
Thom Yorke does not necessarily associate with pleasure. Leader and main songwriter Radiohead tend to have different types of adjectives attached to it in his two decades in the pages of the music, "intense", "tortured" and "anxious" or "passionate", "essential" and "important." Although the music of Radiohead has always been a burden catharsis complex, simple pleasure, for better or for worse, has never regained. You may have sold 30m albums, and sometimes widely recognized as the leader of the "greatest rock band in the world", but in general, how Yorke gave the appearance of a man who has a better chance entry deprivation average happy hour.
However, sitting in a crowded cafe Shoreditch High Street, East London, the consumption of tea in the morning, has, in recent times, I said impatiently, trying in state fun for size. It might be more into it. Yorke is a little strong presence when you walk in there is a glimmer of recognition of faces around us. Do you like it that way. He is wary of the request life for all shades of irony. "I have 44 now," he said, laughing. "And it made me think, if I can not enjoy the moment when I start?"
Some of this has to do with greater freedom. For a long time, he said, after the initial success, the enormous amount of Radiohead, which had begun with their peers at school Abingdon 15 years, "really felt trapped in the question. I think we all did. Especially after we started having children and other things. "Yorke Two children 10 and six years. Raquel lived with his mother since they met at Oxford to study Fine Arts at the University of Exeter. These facts are obviously very important to him. 'You know, making an album The tour is a big commitment, especially the way he does, a lot of work. And when we were young children, we were all like Christ! Do you really want to do the rest of our lives? But many people still seem to want us there were consequences of major channels for those we love. "
Girlfriend Yorke through these issues was their 2006 album The Eraser
, nervousness, unhappiness collecting experimental electronic dancefloor that emerged from his laptop, and he formed with producer Nigel Godrich. He promoted at the time with a blog typically defensive Radiohead fans: "I do not want crap about me being a traitor or separation until blah blah, which was done with his blessing," wrote it. "And I do not wanna hear this word."
The album contains Harrowdown Hill, examination of conscience the death of Dr David Kelly, as his first movement, said at the time, was the concern about climate change. But it was somehow at least a gesture toward liberation. In it was a song called Atoms for Peace, once the motto of the International Atomic Energy Agency. The first lines sounded like a personal manifesto for a new type of light (which was, he said later, something like a warning to Rachel): "It goes to the dark side More saucer eyes fall. Hole worm as I do ... "
album Once the loop that began and ended on the head of your computer, Yorke was intrigued to see if it could play live. In 2009, he gathered a group of friends - do not pronounce the word "supergroup" - he thought perhaps the challenge: Flea, bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Joey Waronker, drummer and Beck REM, Mauro Refosco, a Brazilian percussionist playing with David Byrne and Nigel Godrich, to help pull it all together. Developing a way to make some Bloops digital rhythms, who spent a lot of time at the hardware store, "the purchase of rivets and stuff." "The first time we met was at this place in Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles," he recalls. "We did a song called The Clock and looked like a bomb he was, was simply amazing.
The Eraser record is really listening if 'Go Bang mean in one of the rooms was really something for me. "
The group, originally introduced as a suspect? "?????", Later known as Atoms for Peace, gave a brief U.S. tour playing
The Eraser all. At the end of it, and to have had "a total blast", are locked in a studio for three days and began to improvise a bit. "I had these ideas very small," said Yorke, "mostly just late. And the best player of them for about three days. "The epic 10 hours or more of music created usable Yorke edited down on a new album, adding new letters and working closely with Godrich. C ' is called
Amok
and is alternately dense, trippy, dance and sometimes they whisper and optimistic. You see, I wonder, as from a other species, less angry place psychological archetype for Radiohead
do with reservations. "Well," he said, "when I wrote that" It goes to the side "black line, which was a bit cheeky. And the irony is that Radiohead just made this huge world tour last year and the most had the best time I've ever had. And a lot of dance music is very angry in the right direction. But yes, the idea was that once in my life just to enjoy the energy of it and do not want to shoot. Nigel was always next to me, "Do not darkness! "
You think this is a permanent change?
"No, it depends on where I am, I think. Perhaps literally. Have worked at home for the winter and all I do is dark shit. But we a lot of it away from Los Angeles and was sunny. had something to do in the afternoon and evening before leaving. There is no way that you really miss the old ethic of hard work. We close a couple of times. " From Radiohead successful worldwide first single, Creep, a song Yorke sometimes refuses to play today, but that has defined some insane idea contrary to the group itself - " I wish I was special "and" I'm not here "and" I'm a creep, I'm a monster "- he seemed tired of the clich? that implies. In the profiles, we talked a lot about childhood difficulties Yorke, that he was born with only one eye closed and ajar by a series of failed operations. That because of his father's work as a seller of chemicals frequently moved schools, was arrested because of his eyes, and withdrew. That the payment of fees in Abingdon, found refuge in the music room. One way to see his career was as a sort of traveling outside the limits of this analysis. The apparent lack of introspection
Amok must come as a relief, I say.
He smiled less litter. "For starters, writing songs is my way of dealing with shit Initially it was:." Come into my head and look at me, "he said." But this stuff does not seem appropriate today. tortured often seems the only way to do things from scratch, but that in itself becomes exhaustion. When we were

[their fourth album, released in 2000] I did not feel that I was writing about myself at all. was to cut the lines and take them out of a hat. It was very emotional but it was nothing to do with me . "
In this sense, he suggests, he hoped that the music became much closer to what he feels that all experience on a daily basis: a torrent of words and images coming at you from different sources that you try to do something emotional. meaning The important thing, he thought, would be open to white noise as well. He learned directly used Michael Stipe of REM, who started as a hero and has long been a friend. "Michael is always my favorite lyricist," he said. "I liked the way it should be an emotion, then go back to him and, in doing so, it is much more powerful."
More like channeling the excitement of trying to articulate the inside?
"Something like that. Always remember one night in particular nature, when we toured with REM in 1995, and want to see the side of the stage," he said. "I'll be there and watch it every night, but I was so drunk he could not stand this extraordinary thing tonight, and left him. - I mean it was really there to time, crazy, who freely admit it now - but it was really something to see something deeper that someone communicate entertainment was very exciting to see " ..
Somethingnot far from speaking in tongues or obsolete notions of prophecy?
"I learned all art school and I was really into it, but to find someone in the world of music has been so focused on this kind of People formative experience was something very important to me. could always say, "What about?" But this is the kind of questions that lyric writing. To me anyway. "
