The triumphant return of Radiohead! Thom Yorke and the gang are back after a massive social media reboot for the UK band's 9th studio. The recording for A Moon Shaped Pool began back in 2012 following the tour for their previous effort The King Of Limbs, and once again the band enlisted Nigel Godrich on production duties. The result is "a haunting, stunning triumph" according to Rolling Stone, and we couldn't agree more. This is the deluxe 180 gram pressing that comes on standard black colored vinyl, housed in a beautiful gatefold sleeve featuring art by longtime Radiohead collaborator Stanley Donwood. 11 tracks in all including the lead single "Burn The Witch," "Daydreaming," "Identikit," "Desert Island Disk," "Decks Dark," "Ful Stop" and more. Another brilliant album that proves once again that Radiohead can do no wrong. Download card included, recommended.
