Album Notes & Community Reviews

The hypnotic lead single from 'The King of Limbs', characterized by heavily syncopated, skittering percussion and a dense, synth-bass groove. Thom Yorke's falsetto glides over the intricate electronic arrangement, exploring themes of spiritual obsession and surrender. The track's iconic music video, featuring Yorke's erratic, uninhibited dancing, quickly became a massive viral meme.
