121: Radiohead Broke the Music Industry With This Album w/ Kyle Soto

This week on CD Burners, we’re diving into Radiohead’s In Rainbows with special guest Kyle Soto of Seahaven. From the bizarre 5/4 groove of “15 Step” and the hypnotic guitars of “Weird Fishes” to the stripped-back emotion of “All I Need,” we break down why In Rainbows might be Radiohead’s most accessible album while still being absolute music-nerd heaven. We also get into the band’s industry-shaking decision to release the album with a pay-what-you-want model, Nigel Godrich forcing Radiohead to finally commit to songs they had been obsessing over for years, the incredible From the Basement performances, and why the production still sounds ridiculously good nearly two decades later. Plus, Kyle explains how he absolutely hated Radiohead the first time a friend played them for him, only for In Rainbows to eventually become the album he listened to on repeat and his gateway into the band.
