Song · Kid A / Amnesiac era (2000–01)
Worrywort
A bright electronic B-side about anxiety, with a title spelled wrong on purpose.
2001
the b-side
It came out on the second CD of the “Knives Out” single: synthesiser-driven, digital-sounding and comparatively cheerful, with a title playing on “worrywart”, which is what the lyric is about.
Rolling Stone described a soothing electronic melody that grows more complicated as it goes without ever quite becoming optimistic, which is a fair account of the whole era in one sentence.
