Thom Yorke is on a roll. As well as being a member of one of the most influential rock bands of the last 20 years, he has established a successful solo career and recently received an Oscar nomination for his work on the Suspiria soundtrack.
Now, the Radiohead frontman is giving a series of live shows with Minimalist Dream House. During his performance at Philharmonie de Paris, he debuted his new track “Gawpers” for the first time. You can listen to the track here:
“Let the demons out your head, Let the demons out your head,” he sings. “How they grow, How they stare, How they go.”
The new track is clearly inspired by his work on Suspiria. In the early 2000s, Yorke went through a phase of experimenting with dance music to create upbeat, experimental tracks. Now, everything is stripped back, minimal and beautifully haunting. We are witnessing a new and curiouse phase of Yorke’s 25 year music career.
