Radiohead on MusicFactory

The band talk to MusicFactory about OK Computer, made with more technology than before, loops included. One of them argues that “guitars are actually pretty versatile instruments”, though a new sound stays only if it works with the song. For Thom Yorke the best thing about the record was not having to answer for the words, because the songs belong to their characters and none of it is him. “You have to feel that you can write whatever you want in order to write at all,” he says. They come back to Japan in January for two weeks, their longest tour there yet.
