About the album

Produced by Nigel Godrich and recorded at La Fabrique in the south of France, A Moon Shaped Pool features the London Contemporary Orchestra on strings and choir, wrapped around piano, acoustic guitar and Thom Yorke's tender vocals.

"Burn the Witch" bristles with col legno strings, "Daydreaming" is hauntingly beautiful, "Identikit" and "Ful Stop" build into thrilling grooves, and "True Love Waits" is a long-awaited, heartfelt closer.

A pool well worth wading into.
