Label GB

Radiohead is an alternative rock band from Oxfordshire, England. Formed in 1986 by school friends, they gained worldwide recognition with their hit single "Creep" from the album "Pablo Honey" in 1993. Their second album, "The Bends", solidified their success in the UK with its atmospheric guitar sound and Thom Yorke's emotive vocals. The critically acclaimed album "OK Computer" further propelled them to fame, showcasing their expansive sound and themes of modern alienation. With influences ranging from post-punk to experimental electronic music, Radiohead continues to evolve and push boundaries.
After experimenting with different sounds on albums like "Kid A", they returned to a more conventional rock sound on "Hail To The Thief". In 2007, they made headlines by releasing "In Rainbows" through a pay-what-you-want model. Their latest album, "A Moon Shaped Pool", was released in 2016.
Inspired by bands like The Smiths, Pixies, Joy Division, and R.E.M., Radiohead has carved out their own unique place in the music industry. Known for their thought-provoking lyrics and innovative approach to music production, they have become one of the most influential bands of our time.

An independent record label, XL Recordings was launched in 1989 by Richard Russell and his team. Originally an off-shoot of City Beat Records, XL quickly became known for releasing rave and dance music. Over the years, XL has grown to become one of the leading labels in the industry, managing a roster of talented artists including *Leah Riches*, *a6001996*, and *a60243*. In 1996, XL officially incorporated and became the copyright-holder of its releases. To celebrate their 15th anniversary in 2004, XL launched their XLXV series of re-issues. Today, they continue to thrive as a pioneering force in the music world.

Back In Stock

'The King Of Limbs' is Radiohead's successor to 2007's game-changing 'In Rainbows'. Once again it's produced by Nigel Godrich and the eight tracks pulse with energy and atmosphere right from the opening jittery rhythms of 'bloom'. percussive, groovy, spacious, ethereal, and melodic, this is late night Radiohead, a stoned, somnambulistic wander through the urban wastelands shared by such post-dubstep adventurers as Burial and James blake. Taking the tender intimacy of Radiohead classics like 'no surprises' and 'fake plastic trees' and cross-fertilizing them with elements of world music, jazz, and ambient, the result is the kind of chill-out music that keeps you awake. Highly strung and instinctively contrary, but also deeply harmonically musical, Radiohead somehow finds a space between the sinister and the beautiful, the tense and the meditative. they remain masters of musical dichotomy.
