Suspiria (Music for the Luca Guadagnino Film) by Thom Yorke

Thom Yorke dips his toe into the score/soundtrack arena that Radiohead bandmate Jonny Greenwood has been occupying lately, with the soundtrack to a remake of the 1977 horror film Suspiria.

I do a lot of skipping around on this one, as it’s difficult to put a horror-film soundtrack on in the background of anything without giving whatever it is you’re doing an air of “oh shit I’m going to die soon aren’t I?” The songs that Yorke sings on, such as the one shown above, are Yorke at his best. These could easily be Radiohead songs.

Thom recorded a live session of the four main songs from the soundtrack at Electric Lady Studios in NYC. Watching him perform them live: gorgeous.

If you haven’t listened to this yet, do so. But chances are you’ve already heard it and either embraced it or tossed it aside, and both choices are correct.
