..:: Atoms For Peace - Default ::..
Atoms For Peace is a new collaboration including Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, and producer Nigel Godrich. And while I can’t really tell what Flea’s contribution to the project is, “Default” is one of the best tracks Thom has managed to create in a long while and it’s definitely a product of his deepening love for IDM. The beat sounds like it was crafted by recording a handful of possessed marbles clanking around in a box, and the incessant bleeps and mourning synths paired with Thom’s falsetto do an excellent job of drowning us in unease and mysticism. A worthy a successor to “Black Swan”? I’m thinking so.
