For nearly a decade, the world has waited. ten years sence a new Radiohead album, seven since they last graced the stage. That period has felt eerily prescient, a relentless march into the very future their music so often warned against.Thom Yorke’s lyrics – filled with anxieties about animal-borne diseases,societal collapse,and environmental devastation – haven’t aged; they’ve accelerated into reality.
Yorke’s reputation as a musical prophet has grown with the band’s extended absence, a mythologizing perhaps fueled as much by circumstance as by his songwriting genius. (The debate over his genius continues, arguably stalled more by the complexities of the modern world than by any musical shortcomings.) But even if Yorke is the focal point, Radiohead’s power lies in the collective brilliance of its members. While Yorke has continued to create compelling work, notably with bandmate Jonny Greenwood in their dynamic trio, The Smile, fans have yearned for the full force of the five-piece. A geological age, it felt like, to witness their reunion.
And now, seemingly without fanfare, without a new album to promote, Radiohead has returned, launching a series of intimate residencies in select European cities. Their first performance in Madrid wasn’t a tentative step back onto the stage, but a confident stride. The band performs in the round,utilizing a delicate projection screen that initially appears defensive. However, this isn’t a fragile re-emergence; it’s a statement of enduring power.
“Shell smashed, juices flowing,” Yorke sings on the opening track, “let Down,” and the sentiment feels apt.
