watch the desert
Thom Yorke's slow fall in the “Street Spirit” video was done after a few whiskies.
Jonathan Glazer shot it in black and white over two nights in a desert outside Los Angeles, on high-speed cameras with frames taken out. Yorke fell backwards himself, onto a mattress later removed by computer. The single reached number five, their best chart place yet.
