About this album

The King of Limbs is one of Radiohead’s most rhythm-focused and experimentally adventurous albums, trading conventional guitar anthems for looping percussion, electronic detail and atmospheric restraint. Released in 2011 after In Rainbows, it was shaped by Nigel Godrich’s production and the band’s interest in texture, repetition and live-sounding rhythm. Songs such as Bloom and Lotus Flower show Radiohead extending their electronic-rock language into uneasy, meticulous forms, while Codex and Separator bring a more reflective closing mood. The album reinforced the band’s reputation for restless reinvention and remains a striking document of their post-millennial sound.
