Thom Yorke - ANIMA

Listen to this week's playlist.

Record of the Week is ANIMA, Thom Yorke's solo return and a suitably ambitious new project incorporating sections made to soundtrack a film with Paul Thomas Anderson. ANIMA is tense and dense, it floats through sections of beats and tones and builds a palpable sense of anxiety. Full of his instantly recognisable musical signatures, with enough surprises to really keep up coming back. Produced with Nigel Godrich, It really is a work with no wasted gestures, quite stunning in fact.

+ Available NOW on a limited Indie Edition: Orange 140 gram double vinyl in a wide-spine single sleeve with an additional 10th track (Ladies & Gentlemen, Thank You for Coming).

+ Available 2nd August on Deluxe Edition: A beautiful hardback book containing both the lyrics and many strange drawings done in pencil by Stanley Donwood & Dr Tchock.
