Song · Hail to the Thief era (2003–04)
I Am Citizen Insane
A glitching instrumental B-side that gave its name to the fan archive half of this site's sources come from.
2003
the b-side
It came out on the first CD of the “Go to Sleep” single and later on Com Lag: largely instrumental, glitching, a collection of the textures the band were making in that period rather than a song.
Its lasting contribution is its title. Citizen Insane, the long-running Radiohead archive, took its name from this track, and a large number of the catalogue notes on this site cite it. The B-side outlived itself by naming the people who were keeping the records.
