Description:

Thom Yorke is undergoing another creative renaissance -- I think many of us feel that way. He has always explored new sound worlds. But even if we focus on his major sound works, his output in the decade began with "The King of Limbs" (2011/Radiohead's eighth studio album), followed by "AMOK" (Atoms for Peace) in 2013, "Tomorrow's Modern Boxes" (2014), "A Moon Shaped Pool" (2016), "The King of Limbs" (2011), "The King of Limbs" (2011), "AMOK" (2013), "Tomorrow's Modern Boxes" (2014), and "A Moon Shaped Pool" (2014). (Radiohead 9 th) in 2016, and "Suspiria" (his first full-length movie soundtrack) in 2018. ANIMA" is the best presentation of the latest point in the continuum of artists who continue to move and evolve in this way. As he says, "The process of making this record came out of doing a live show," and it emerges from the audiovisual electronic/DJ set that he has developed since Amok with his now stage partner Nigel Godrich and filmmaker Tariq Bahri. The band has been developing and growing since Amok with his stage partner Nigel Godrich and filmmaker Tariq Bahri. Many of the tracks on this album have been tried out at various club shows and live performances over the past few years, including (1) and (3), which were performed during HCA's appearance at Summer Sonic 2015.Considering that Radiohead was actively working on several projects at the same time, including a world tour, it is no wonder that it took more than four years for the album to come together in this way. But the wait was worth it. Nigel Godrich has been collaging and reconstructing a wealth of sampled/looped material and ideas, including archival material from the past, and adding songs to the foundation. The production is contemporary and danceable, captivating the listener's ears with its dazzling beat-making, modern electronica dynamism and production. Synchronized with the pulse of the scene's forefront, the discoveries made on this album have been digested and absorbed. However, not all of the tracks are filled with the nonstop pleasure of club music that one cannot help but shake one's body to. There are also contemplative abstract tracks such as (4) and (9), and the strange and varied beauty of the vocal processing (both Thom Yorke himself and the choir of Hugh Blunt and the London Contemporary Orchestra, who have known each other since "A MoonShaped Pool") scattered throughout the album, The overall balance of the "album" is achieved by adding unique edges, such as the sense of awakening/purification that suddenly arises within the arrangements.After the intense introspection of "Tomorrow's Modern Boxes," this film is in deep harmony with physicality and spirituality. During the press conference at the Venice Film Festival premiere of "Suspiria," Thom Yorke used the repetition of motifs and the hypnotic effects they produce as an example, likening studio work to the act of "creating a spell. Loops and beats based on repetition are modern spells, and singing and dancing to them is a kind of ritual. Surrounded by glowing blue screens and incessant noise, we are always "on," but in the present age, we are also drowned out and lose sight of many things. Thom Yorke continues to create spells to break the spell and create a moment to look at the essence, even if only for a moment.
