Thom Yorke
The Eraser

If listening to this album you think that Radiohead has finally returned, don't let Thom Yorke hear you. He would be furious. Though this "The Eraser" seems born from the depths of "Amnesiac" and "Kid A", it doesn't really matter, the important thing is not to mix up the names. In reality, what does it change? "The Eraser" is a magnificent album; if it didn't bear Thom Yorke's signature (under the production supervision of Nigel Godrich), we would be faced with a surprising and unique album, while in this case, for the great Yorke, it's pure routine. A lot of electronics in pure "Amnesiac" style with a near-total absence of chords and instrumental notes, fast, psychedelic, powerful, cinematic, brilliant, acoustically enhanced and dilated into a sort of sound limbo where Thom Yorke's voice becomes a sort of musical Charon ferrying souls toward the sublimation of the senses.

While waiting for the highly anticipated new Radiohead album, Thom Yorke offers a pearl of great value with this "The Eraser" that will thrill all the fans and admirers of this immense musical band. Since the new album is expected to be a return to the band's early musical footsteps, that is, less electronics and less psychedelic experimentation to enhance the band's more canonically instrumental side, Yorke thought it wise to present his deeply and wonderfully electronic album. Tracks like "Black Swan" that enter your veins and immediately provoke cerebral addiction, enter your mind like something you can no longer do without, listen after listen, go back and start all over again. The setlist becomes a life form of its own that cannot be shaped, the more you listen, the more you desire it. This is "The Eraser". This is Thom Yorke. But please, however difficult it may be, don't try to allude to Radiohead...
