My favorite song from "The King of Limbs " (you can see the review in the file.) Whenever you hear me wonder radiohead how will the transition from the sound of live disc format, sometimes I worry that they lack the "richness" that provides the studio, but with this (as usual) I plugged the mouth.
The microphone on the right is open to recording and playing time in a constant loop that Thom Yorke sings, while the left is normally used. This simple setup over an acoustic guitar allows Yorke make their own choirs and slowly add the layers that need crescendo of the song, without any trick of studio production or similar devices. The tap on the microphone is bright, more than a metronome is a sequence of percussion 100% intentional but a simplicity unthinkable.
View as a band so renowned for its high production levels can take their music so great a degree of minimalism without losing its beauty is fascinating ... this song is amazing, simple, haunting ... perfect. Hope you like it (and hear the studio version with headphones)
