In Rainbows Disk 2

Radiohead

A beautiful, shadow-draped companion piece to In Rainbows. Sparse piano ballads, dusty drum loops, and some of Thom Yorke's most vulnerable vocal performances.

June 9, 2009

A quiet, late-night intimacy draped in beautiful, melancholic shadows.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the eerie, reversed piano loop of MK 1 into the grand, sweeping orchestral tension of Down Is the New Up.
The devastatingly intimate piano performance on Last Flowers, where Thom Yorke's voice cracks under the weight of the melody.
The sudden explosion of frantic, cowbell-driven live drumming on Bangers + Mash, breaking the album's prevailing quietude.
