College Karma EP

Released in early 1998, the College Karma EP serves as a crucial companion document to Radiohead's landmark 1997 album, OK Computer. Combining two of the parent album's most famous singles (Karma Police and Paranoid Android) with a selection of highly regarded B-sides, the EP highlights the band's transition from guitar-driven alternative rock to highly experimental, studio-driven art rock. Recorded primarily with producer Nigel Godrich, the B-sides like Polyethylene, Parts 1 & 2 and Pearly* showcase Jonny Greenwood's aggressive, metallic guitar work, while A Reminder and Melatonin lean into ambient textures, tape loops, and intimate, keyboard-led lullabies. This release captures the band at a pivotal moment of immense creative fertility, proving that their discarded material was as strong and influential as the tracks that made the final album cut.
