essentially a continuation of his solo album, 'the eraser', Thom Yorke hooks up with Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers, super-producer Nigel Godrich & percussionist Mauro Refosco for this new super-project.
together they Swirl together walls of molten, layered bass with snaking lazy guitar loops & licks of glitches over staggeringly complex, mutant rhythmic structures that give the likes of Four Tet, Modeselektor, caribou & Flying Lotus a run for their money. In Thom Yorke’s own words: “We formed to learn to play ‘The Eraser’ record & discovered a really good energy doing that & it fell into this record". "they’ve celebrated rhythm & space in a darkly arresting way....provides a murky & complicated landscape that sounds like very little else" 9/10 - clash, "a subtle beast, eschewing high-impact & bold gestures in favour of the carefully woven patchwork approach of 'The King Of Limbs'" - the quietus.
