No Surprises / Running From Demons

Radiohead

A haunting companion piece to OK Computer. These six tracks drift between fragile lullabies, sharp guitar rock, and tape-hiss-soaked ambient experiments.

December 10, 1997 · Parlophone

Find on Amazon

A fragile, late-night solace that balances childlike wonder with quiet existential dread.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the comforting glockenspiel of the opening track into the abrasive, jagged guitar stabs of Pearly*
The eerie, tape-warped vocal sample of an airport announcement that drifts through the background of A Reminder
The way the drums completely drop out of Bishop's Robes, leaving Thom Yorke's voice floating over a dark, skeletal organ
