Update: The band has launched a contest to submit a video for their last vignette. See the details here.
When you are Radiohead, you don’t just release an album. Following the bow of their ninth record, A Moon Shaped Pool, in early May, the band commissioned a set of short video vignettes to go alongside a number of the songs.
Featuring Yorgos Lanthimos (The Lobster) directing Denis Levant, High-Rise‘s Ben Wheatley dragging a floating body across rocks, and Submarine director Richard Ayoade shooting what could’ve been a deleted scene from Trash Humpers, each present a distinct interpretation of the respective song.
They’ve now completed the vignettes, although they note that their latest is the final one in the “current series,” so perhaps we can expect another round soon, considering “Burn the Witch,” “Daydreaming,” “Decks Dark,” “Present Tense,” and “True Love Waits” aren’t represented here.
Check them all out in the order the songs appear on the album, followed by a full stream, below:
