In Rainbows (Pt. 1)

The Big Mates discuss hot tubs, Isaac Newton, Strictly Come
Dancing, and In Rainbows by Radiohead.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their deep dive into the career
and discography of Radiohead by tackling their highly praised
seventh album In Rainbows. They talk about the writing and
recording process, the context surrounding the songs, and offer
up analysis, opinions, and thoughts from three differing
perspectives on music, from being deeply into analysis and music,
to not caring for art or critique, and everything in
between.

They touch on the lengthy writing and recording process for the
album, the novel release strategy, and how the band approached
the record. They also discuss death, the passage of time, the
finite nature of our existence, and the soundtrack for Kevin and
Perry Go Large.

What was special about how the band released In Rainbows? Why did
they start recording without Nigel Godrich? Is this their most
sexual album? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out on Monday January 16th and will continue
the deep-dive into In Rainbows.
