About Radiohead
Radiohead's group recordings bring together Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien and Philip Selway. Their music has moved across rock boundaries through a wide range of influences and studio approaches. The fourth album, Kid A, released in 2000, is a prominent example of the band's turn toward electronic textures. Their work also helped make digital distribution part of the wider discussion around album releases, alongside continuing changes in the sound of the recordings themselves.
