Atoms For Peace
Released:
Feb 2013
Label:

Seven years after The Eraser, Thom Yorke reassembles his touring band -- co-producer Nigel Godrich, drummer Joey Waronker, percussionist Mauro Refosco and bassist Flea (!) -- as Atoms for Peace. For such big names, their studio output is remarkably hushed, favoring subtle collage over live rock; the rhythms are a hybrid of loose-limbed stick-work and digital cut-and-paste, while liquid bass lines and African-inspired guitars lend a gentle sense of ebb and flow. Yorke's quavering falsetto is the force around which it all swirls, an aching stillness at the center of a quiet storm.
