The Oxhorn Music Mix

Hearkening back to a time when Radiohead played guitars and alternative rock was king, The Trickster stands as the era’s high-water mark. Off of the My Iron Lung EP, The Trickster explodes with huge carnivorous drums and a Godzilla-like bass. The chorus is epidemic, monstrous, huge; the way only Radiohead can play it.

Thom Yorke’s Voice

Yorke’s gossamer falsetto, charging, vulnerable, rings passive-aggressively horrific meaning from the words. Then a rambling bridge, instrumental, drives past. When The Trickster hits, it hits below the belt. Phil’s drums wrench the song along like a rip current tearing you out sea.

Radiohead Infuses The Trickster with Electric Intensity

How amazing, how much intensity Radiohead brings to a song. The Trickster ends with a grand finale worthy of the Fourth of July, damaged guitar work, and a puff of fuzz.

Sounds like the love child of: The Pixies and Bloc Party.
