Default

We called it: Stanley Donwood's revival of the London Views linocut technique for his recent artwork, entitled Lost Angeles, comes to the fore of the first official video from Thom Yorke's Atoms for Peace. Six years ago, just as The Eraser channeled haunted tones and stretched electro chords on the website before the full release, Default, the first single warmly welcomes aficionados into the A4P club. Having seen them in Santa Barbara two years ago, proudly witnessing and admiring the chemistry of a Yorke-led-super-group, many of us have been excited about this for a long time. Now it comes. The video is underwhelming but the track is not.
