July 6, 200619 yr Unsettled: In new songs and old, Radiohead’s intensity points to a future still unfolding Thom Yorke is not here to comfort you. His voice isn’t made for that. It is all about intense pain and raw beauty, a sound weary and a little crazed from alienation, aggravation, boredom, fear. The usual modern problems. Radiohead has chosen this path, delivering on this bleak and somehow uplifting worldview with sparks of swirling guitars and electronics and a muted kind of intensity that can’t be easy to pull off, real or fake. Radiohead has been rewarded with a following that is largely organic and practically religious, fueled by a certain critical consensus and uneven airplay, and the ability to consistently fill wide open spaces like the Greek Theatre. The band’s return there for two nights last week revealed Radiohead just as it was a decade ago, five smart young dudes from Oxford, England, still united in their big rock dreams and wild spasms of noise, grace, and experimentation. On Friday, June 30, the band dove right into “Airbag,” from 1997’s OK Computer, the album that announced the end of its early awkward years, and the one by which all other Radiohead recordings are still judged. It established the themes that continue to obsess Yorke, and the singer delivered those songs at the Greek as always, his body undulating behind the microphone, as if being shook from the head on down. This is personal. Yorke has been outspoken on world politics and hunger and the fate of Tibet, but his songs have also been far more emotional than political, his vocals offering their own revelations that can be felt even outside the lyrical content. He feels it, means it, loves it, hates it – and so can you. Between songs, he was unpretentious and vaguely uncomfortable. There were no speeches beyond a half-hearted “Shut up …” he uttered mid-lyric when the local hooligans hooted and whistled a little too much during the achingly delicate, acoustic “Exit Music (For a Film).” Pay attention, dudes. There was nothing from his excellent and unexpected new solo album, The Eraser (due out July 11), a collection that feeds the same stark electronic jones first revealed on Radiohead’s Kid A in 2000. But his band is not replaceable. Yorke is the mastermind, but there can be no substitute for reluctant guitar hero Jonny Greenwood, the wiry flash weirdo in the mop bowl haircut, laying down his guitar to bend over in a near-fetal position with an old transistor radio, blending bolts of electricity and found voices from the airwaves during “National Anthem.” The endless comparisons to Pink Floyd and Coldplay are understandable and superficial. It’s true enough that Radiohead has seen its blueprint adapted and twisted to the needs of others: Muse, adding a prog twist; Doves, all atmosphere, the occasional song; Coldplay, ballads only. And these acts are also still reacting to Radiohead circa 1997. After that came an abrupt shift into the electronic unknown, Kid A, which was a path few others could follow, or wanted to. It was a long way from Radiohead’s early days as another haircut band from the U.K. with one astonishingly hysterical song of self-hatred (“Creep”), hoping to be noticed in a pop world briefly dominated by the escapism of Oasis, a group full of attitude and no ideas. Radiohead came back from all that with 2003’s Hail to the Thief, arriving as another fully realized statement on post-millennial anxiety, pieced together in ways meticulous and seemingly random, with bits of noise and feedback buzzing and clicking. The electronics were still there, but mixed with heavy guitars again. Without the same shock of the new, it couldn’t have the same impact as OK Computer. The band has been mostly quiet since. It is done with its commitments to Capitol Records and now operates as a free agent. Greenwood released a dreamy soundtrack album last year, and Yorke’s solo debut arrives next week. But at the Greek, Radiohead revealed several new songs, all of them likely to undergo extensive tinkering in the studio. One was “Videotape,” another piece of intense balladry. Minimal, emotional, with drummer Phil Selway banging out a beat that approached drum ’n’ bass speeds. Radiohead unleashed all of it, without ever sounding rote or anxious to help you relax. http://www.lacitybeat.com/article.php?id=3998&IssueNum=161
