Kid A (Pt. 2)

The Big Mates discuss Sonic, ventriloquists, heads on sticks, and Kid A by Radiohead.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their track-by-track deep dive into this odd, divisive album by beginning their track-by-track exploration. They offer up analysis, opinions, and thoughts from three differing perspectives on music, from being deeply into analysis and music, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between.

They discuss the context, recording process, and reception of the songs, as well as exploring the lyrics, themes, and subtext of everything contained within them.

What does the album actually sound like? What is an ondes martenot? What are tree fingers? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out on Monday August 15th and will conclude our track-by-track analysis of Kid A and examine the legacy of this highly praised record.
