After one year of teasing, Thom Yorke and his indie elite company make their case with a debut that is in equal parts messy as it is spellbinding. For our new deep dive column, NBHAP author Nils Heutehaus took the time to jot down his notes on one of the most splendid 2022 musical happenings and he kindly invites you to take the journey with him.
This year has been a challenge for all of us and we were lucky enough to have such tremendous records on our side to comfort us in difficult times.

If you haven't listened to all of them you now got a whole lockdown winter ahead of you to do that.
