Radiohead's “The Numbers” gets a Paul Thomas Anderson film

Radiohead have released Paul Thomas Anderson's film of “The Numbers”, from A Moon Shaped Pool, in which Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood play it on park benches in Tarzana, California, with a Roland CR-78 drum machine. It is Anderson's third film for the album, after “Daydreaming” and “Present Tense”, the second of which had the same pair and the same machine. Anderson and Greenwood have worked together on several film scores.

WNYC calls it a field recording: Yorke and Greenwood each play guitar, the album's piano and percussion are gone, and Nigel Godrich did the mix. At the end Greenwood switches the drum machine off and Yorke says one word, probably¹.
