Thom Yorke, Burial and Four Tet – Ego

Radiohead frontman forms part of electronica supergroup



This Tuesday the time came for Yorke fans to get excited again, as details of a vinyl-only single with Four Tet and Burial emerged. The double A-side, Ego/Mirrors (limited to just 300 copies), will be released through Four Tet's Text label.
Above is a radio rip of Ego, a six-and-a-half minute track that builds from a fairly standard, intricately programmed opening before Yorke's plaintive croon emerges from the fog to create a surprisingly melodic centre. Strange percussive tweaks and odd keyboard lines rise and fall throughout before a beautiful piano flurry emerges around the five-minute mark. This creates a rather more warming coda to the chilly opening.

  1. :O "Radiohead frontman forms part of electronica supergroup...." ja bih ovu supergrupu nazvao Voltron posto zvuci supercool - isto kao kad se roboti/lavovi kombinuju i formiraju Voltrona najjaceg robota u univerzumu :) and i`m not being sarcastic or ironic! ...sadly i`m just a geek :)

    p.s. Voltron izgleda slicno kao onaj Magdin robot ;) kao sto rekoh najjaci robot ikadd!
