ANIMA

Thom Yorke

Thomas Edward Yorke, more commonly
referred to as Thom Yorke, is best known as
the singer and lead songwriter of the English
rock band Radiohead. ANIMA is his third
studio album as a solo artist and is rooted
deeply in the electronic sound for which
Radiohead became known with their move
into the genre in the year 2000.

FIVE FACTS:

1. Yorke was born in Northamptonshire,
   England in 1968 and raised in Scotland
   before he formed Radiohead with
   schoolmates in Oxfordshire.


2. Yorke first achieved fame due to the
   worldwide success of Radiohead’s debut
   single “Creep”, which was initially released
   in 19 92.


3. With help from Yorke’s longtime producer
   Nigel Godrich, ANIMA was developed through
   both studio work and live performances.


4. Yorke has spoken of the album’s anxious
   and dystopian mood, admitting: “For
   some reason, I thought a really good way
   of expressing anxiety creatively was in a
   dystopian environment.”


5. The album was promoted with the
   release of a Paul Thomas Anderson-directed,
   15-minute film also called ANIMA, which has
   screened in some IMAX theatres and was
   also brought out on Netflix.
