With Radiohead, and Alone, the Sweet Malaise of Thom Yorke
By JON PARELES
THOM YORKE is a study in asymmetry. A small, wiry man in neatly patched blue jeans, gray T-shirt and dark blazer, he sits with wary courtesy for an interview in a midtown Manhattan hotel room that attempts a sleekly pretentious minimalism, "but on the cheap," he says with a snicker.
Mr. Yorke's coppery blond hair is cut at precisely unbalanced angles, and in his sharp, foxlike face his right eye is clearly larger than his left. His forehead occasionally creases above his left eyebrow, giving him a slightly conspiratorial look. Asymmetry also pervades the music he makes on his first solo album, "The Eraser" (XL), and the music he has made for more than a decade with Radiohead, rock's most experimental Top 10 band.
Inner tension reigns in Radiohead songs, as the rhythms undermine rock's standard 4/4, melodies are assaulted by intrusive noise, and the sweet ache of Mr. Yorke's voice carries tidings of deep malaise. And now, because the band chose not to make a new recording deal after finishing its contract in 2003, Radiohead is rock's most coveted free agent.
As pop grows ever more fickle, Radiohead has held onto a huge following, large enough to make albums zoom to No. 1 and devoted enough to plaster the Internet with Radiohead fan sites, blogs, song discussions and bootleg recordings. The band has held on to its fans not by polishing a formula but by regularly dismantling it: each Radiohead album arrives from a new angle, with new conundrums.
Radiohead's members — Mr. Yorke, Phil Selway on drums, Colin Greenwood on bass, Ed O'Brien on guitar and Jonny Greenwood on guitars, keyboards and unlikely sounds — met when they were at a boys' school near Oxford, England. When they started Radiohead in the early 1990's, the songs adopted the Beatlesque grandeur of Britpop but sabotaged it with sentiments like the one in "Creep," Radiohead's first hit, which has Mr. Yorke sullenly crooning, "I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo/ What the hell am I doing here?"
Popularity only made the band's alienation more sweeping. In 1997 Radiohead unveiled the dystopian majesty of its first masterpiece, "OK Computer," full of dire thoughts about dehumanization. Then, instead of making a sequel, Radiohead disassembled its sound, supplanting guitars with keyboards and electronic cross-rhythms on the ominous, disorienting, fascinating "Kid A" and "Amnesiac." With "Hail to the Thief" in 2003 Radiohead brought the two strands back together, reintegrating rock guitars into its jagged electronic soundscapes.
The 21st-century Radiohead makes music of constant, sophisticated discord. With and without Radiohead, Mr. Yorke is a purveyor of beautiful anxieties.
"It annoys me how pretty my voice is," Mr. Yorke says. "That sounds incredibly immodest, but it annoys me how polite it can sound when perhaps what I'm singing is deeply acidic."
Radiohead's next album may not arrive for some time. "Hail to the Thief" fulfilled Radiohead's contract with EMI, and while companies large and small would be eager to sign the band, it has still not decided what to do next, staying in a commercial limbo that has been both liberating and unsettling. Radiohead is by far the world's most popular unsigned band. "Why would you want to sign a six-album deal with a business that is imploding?" Mr. Yorke says.
The tour that followed "Hail to the Thief" sold out arenas on four continents, ending at the Coachella Festival in 2004. And then, after the triumph, there was no next step. No recording deadline, no more tour dates. As band members returned to their families, Radiohead went silent.
"We lost all momentum and it's very, very difficult to get momentum back," Mr. Yorke says. "When I say momentum, I don't just mean the physically working everyday, I mean just hanging out and playing each other music and swapping ideas and stuff. It's something that you take for granted until it's gone. And then you're like: 'What's wrong? There's something wrong here.' "
As he had between "OK Computer" and "Kid A," Mr. Yorke plunged toward depression. "I lost my confidence in all of it, I mean for about a year," he says, and then dismisses the topic. "I used to bore my friends stupid in the pub."
In the blog band members keep at http://www.radiohead.com/deadairspace, Mr. Yorke wrote on Aug. 23, 2005, "there are giant waves of self doubt crashing over me and if i could alleviate this with a simple pill ... i think i would." He wrote on March 13, 2006, that he was "tearing my hair out, too much at once. furiously writing, working out parts, cracking up. not much time left. unshure about everything. im not supposed to put any of this here. so thats why i am."
That self-doubt runs through "The Eraser" and through the new songs that Radiohead is now playing on tour.
Mr. Yorke has sung for tens of thousands of people nightly in arenas worldwide, dancing across stages with jittery moves that define geeky abandon. But one-to-one he's gingerly, or perhaps just shy. As he speaks, he mostly watches the level meter on an interviewer's recorder. In "The Eraser," Mr. Yorke sings: "You know the answer so why do you ask?/I am only being nice because I want something."
He wants to promote "The Eraser" of course. Although Mr. Yorke does a lot of Radiohead's electronic programming, the album is not the abstract sonic excursion that some fans might have expected. Nor is it a singer-songwriter's set of modest tunes strummed on acoustic guitar. Instead it's a collection of nine concise, melodic, largely electronic songs: pop in form, bleakly claustrophobic in execution, despairing and catchy.
The music on "The Eraser" sounds intensely solitary. Keyboards, synthesizer sounds and spatters of percussion well up and loop around Mr. Yorke's sustained voice as he sings a depressive's litany. "There's no spark, no light in the dark/It gets you down," he sings in "Analyze," while in "Skip Divided," he repeats, "You are a fool for sticking 'round." So many of the songs are addressed to "you" that it sometimes sounds as if Mr. Yorke is staring into a mirror, singing comfortless lullabies to himself.
"There was a lot of me trying to pick myself up off the floor," he says. "Because I really sort of dropped — what's the word? sunk — dropped down and went into this big lull and couldn't do anything. There's a lot of internal monologue stuff going on. But it's never literally. What ends up in the song tends to be what the song wants to have, rather than 'I'm going to put this amount of garbage from my life into this particular song.' "
Mr. Yorke began work on "The Eraser" almost surreptitiously. Its songs were built from fragments of sound concocted at odd moments — like idle time in hotel rooms on tour — and stored on his laptop.
He can't read or write standard music notation. "If someone lays the notes on a page in front of me, it's meaningless," he says. "Because to me you can't express the rhythms properly like that. It's a very ineffective way of doing it, so I've never really bothered picking it up."
In Radiohead the notation is left to Mr. Greenwood. Working on his own, as he did on "The Eraser," Mr. Yorke saw only the score generated by his computer sequencing program. "Jonny is absolutely adamant that I should not learn to read music," Mr. Yorke said. "He wants me to be the idiot savant."
Mr. Yorke doesn't consider "The Eraser" entirely a solo album. Many of the sounds on it had been made by Radiohead members through the years. In the library of sounds Mr. Yorke used for "The Eraser," he no longer has any idea who played what. "Part of our method is we tend to record everything we're doing," he says. "It's as much about discovering the accidents and compiling them as anything else."
Mr. Yorke began going through his accumulated sounds with Nigel Godrich, Radiohead's longtime producer, as an adviser and editor. "It was a matter of listening through to stuff and taking parts and arranging those blocks into things that could be bits of music, so then he could write melodies over the top," Mr. Godrich said by telephone from San Francisco. "Nobody knew we were doing it, nobody was waiting for us to finish something. It's very much like a couple of kids mucking about in the bedroom."
At first "I didn't expect it to be a song record," Mr. Yorke says. "The more that Nigel forced me to isolate and tidy up my ideas, the more they started forming into something you could call songs, or something that I felt relaxed about putting vocals onto because they felt loosely coherent."
Much of the album took shape without instruments: just Mr. Yorke with his computers and samples. Later he added some actual drums and an occasional guitar part. The tracks on "The Eraser" sound disembodied and private: too rickety to come across as quantized computer music, but too synthetic to suggest a live band. "The music was fairly minimal," Mr. Yorke says. "And the vocal ideas that could go with it were fairly direct. It wasn't going to be, 'Oh, it's heavily programmed, densely electronic, clever, clever.' "
He and Mr. Godrich were, he says, "very much trying to keep with the aesthetic of it being homemade, but discernibly out of the computer or out of the laptop, and making that something to be celebrated rather than pretend it's not."
RADIOHEAD reconvened last summer to work on new music. "There was no record company, there was no nothing," Mr. Yorke says. "It was really nice to be in a period where there was none of that."
At the end of September the band posted a photograph of a studio blackboard filled with song titles. "That was just to wind up all the Web sites," Mr. Yorke admits. But the band didn't feel productive overall. "Because there was no endpoint, there was no goal," Mr. Yorke says. "To focus a group, a deadline is an excellent idea."
Radiohead hasn't resolved the question of how to release its new material. Although it seems that every last one of Radiohead's American and European fans is online, Mr. Yorke ruled out purely digital distribution because fans elsewhere — Russia or South America, for instance — are not so well connected. A company still needs to press CD's and get them to stores. "The truth is that the traditional medium is still there, and you need it," he says.
Radiohead has been one of the holdouts against having their music sold on iTunes, Apple's online music store, because, Mr. Yorke says, "the record companies basically don't want to pay the artists at all for the downloading." Without a contract, it can decide exactly how it wants to sell its recordings, which has left the band with "too many variables," he adds.
"We were having endless debates, spending entire afternoons talking about, 'Well, if we do something, how do we put it out?' " he recalls. "It just became this endless and pointless discussion. Because in our dreams, it would be really nice to just let off this enormous stink bomb in the industry."
Eventually the band simply decided to postpone any decision about recordings, although it has decided to own its recordings and license them for distribution rather than signing a standard recording contract.
"When we have something," he says with a shrug, "then we'll find whatever seems the most appropriate way to put it out."
He adds: "I'm not really into the idea of picking an enormous fight now because I think the structure of the music business is in a state of collapse anyway. You might as well just let it get on with it. There's no point in us trying to help. And it makes you sound really arrogant, like, 'Yeah, we're going to mess up the system.' The system's built us, so that would be a bit silly, wouldn't it?"
Around last Christmas, Radiohead gave itself a deadline: The band decided to tour again. "We spent a long time in the studio just not going anywhere, wasting our time, and that was really, really frustrating," Mr. Yorke says. "But then we upped the stakes, and we went to a different space that we have, to start preparing for the tour. And it was like, O.K., we're on tour in two and a half months. And we basically had all these half-formed songs, and we just had to get it together.
"And rather than it being a nightmare, it was really, really good fun, because suddenly everyone is being spontaneous and no one's self-conscious because you're not in the studio. So it was really good just hanging out and working for about four or five hours a day. It felt like being 16 again."
The band has written (or revived in some cases, like the decade-old song "Nude," once known as "Big Ideas") more than an album's worth of new material. On tour now, Radiohead generally plays at least half a dozen unreleased songs per set. "I see it as a challenge, to try and keep one's spontaneity in the midst of this huge mechanism," Mr. Yorke says. "You're turning around to the lighting guy and saying, 'We're going to play this brand new song that you haven't programmed up yet in about half an hour. Is that all right?' And the look on his face. That sort of thing."
Mr. Yorke doesn't mind that Radiohead's new songs are being recorded from the audience and posted online. "If it wasn't for the Internet, I think it would be complete murder" putting across so many brand-new songs, he says. "But you get the feeling that at least some people are familiar with some of it. Which makes the difference."
The songs in their current form are "just like first-stage sketches of some stuff," he says. "This is very much a live gig, and we're working in this context, and so we have to exclude all the other experiments for now. But the more the live stuff goes on, the more certain you get about the other things are you want to explore."
That night, after the interview, Radiohead played a typically polymorphous set at Theater at Madison Square Garden: intricate picking and blunt drum-and-feedback drones, twinkling keyboards and bruising bass lines, plaintive anthems and bitter sarcasm. Among the new songs are "Down Is the New Up," which harks back to the Zombies; "Bangers 'n Mash," a grinding garage-rocker, and the tricky, odd-meter "15 Step," which begins: "How come I end up where I started?/How come I end up where I went wrong?"
Backstage after the show Mr. O'Brien, Radiohead's other guitarist, says happily that the songs are "morphing rapidly" as they are played each night. Some might even be considered finished. But there is, for the moment, no album in sight, just a band that will let the music business wait until its songs are ready. "All we have to do," Mr. O'Brien says, "is record them."

i swallowed his facade cos i'm so

someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way
