Ahead of Radiohead’s return to the United States for headlining performances at Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Osheaga and gigs at Madison Square Gardens in New York City and the Shrine in Los Angeles, the band’s frontman Thom Yorke has put together a beautiful Bedtime Mix for BBC Radio 1.
Shared on the British radio station yesterday, the 45-minute mix includes several gems such as Holden’s “Triangle Folds Inside Out,” William Winant’s “Trackings I,”Laurie Spiegel’s “The Unquestioned Answer,” Radiohead’s OK Computer b-side track “Melatonin,” and Yorke’s very own live rendition of “Bloom,” recorded during the Pathway to Paris last year.
“I spend a lot of time listening and writing music while half-asleep, music that evolves quietly and slowly like the weather, like nature. Machinery bending time—I love that shit. If you’re still awake by the end of it, I’ve done something wrong. Night night. Lights out.”
Listen to the mix here.
