026: Stanley Donwood | Radio Juxtapoz

For nearly 30 years, Radiohead's visual identity has been established from the mind and evolving style of artist, Stanley Donwood. Like a 6th member of the band, his experiments in his own creative process have gone hand-in-hand with the band's constant reimagining of their own sound. Often embedded in the studio while album's are being made, Donwood listens, expands, visualizes and tells his own creative story while one of the biggest bands in the world tells their own. The bond has made for a consistent and special conversation between artist and musicians, one that rarely gets to grow together as music packaging has become more of a luxury. 

On the eve of the release of his first monograph, There Will Be No Quiet, Radio Juxtapoz sat down with the British artist in Shoreditch before a few appearances he was making around London to coincide with the book. We talked about Donwood's unique partnership with Radiohead, his relationship to the early days of London street art and Lazarides Gallery and some of the newest collaborative work and public art projects that coincided with Thom Yorke's ANIMA record. Donwood's history is an incredible journey through music, literature and underground art, and in a candid interview, we get his story.
