Description

Steven Hyden's in-depth exploration of Radiohead's groundbreaking album Kid A, published to coincide with its 20th anniversary in 2020, offers a fascinating insight into the making and meaning of this influential record. In 1999, five musicians entered a Paris recording studio with a rare opportunity to create something new, free from the constraints of their previous work. The result was an album that not only marked a departure from their guitar-based rock sound but also embodied the changes catalyzed by emerging technologies. Kid A's impact on culture is still felt today, with its influence evident in the music and society of the 21st century. This book provides a detailed analysis of the album's history, legacy, and mystique, shedding light on its enduring significance.
