Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool

there's a ton of stuff on it that is reminiscent of the rhodes to the point where those things could played on a rhodes and nothing would be lost in translation.

I actually think it's fairly important to EIIRP that it's a distorted reference point and not an actual Rhodes

the smile streamed some rehearsals today. two run throughs of "look at all the pretty lights", & one each of "free in the knowledge" and "you will never work in television again" - only the latter was played at glastonbury. interesting to hear "free in the knowledge" because it shows they're carrying on with the neil young-esque acoustic side of the last decade of radiohead as well as the jammy side that's been predominant in all the smile material so far.

jonny also said the album is almost done - they're just sorting through the material & figuring out an album tracklist & deciding if they need to put any more work in. it sounds like the thom/jonny dynamic is thom is the perfectionist who wants to keep tweaking the details forever, while jonny is less concerned and would be happier if they released things more often.
