Atoms For Peace Before Your Very Eyes

Third single taken from the critically acclaimed album from Thom Yorke and co. and in my mind probably the standout track from ‘Amok’.

‘Before Your Very Eyes’ really brings to the fore the other talented musicians from this project with a striking bass line by Flea that rumbles through most of the track, a shuffling rhythm from drum master and all round session guy Joey Waronker, and an understated guitar and vocal from Mr Yorke that makes this track float along gloriously.

B-Side ‘Magic Beanz’ would’ve fitted nicely on the album somewhere or even on Thom’s previous solo outing ‘The Eraser’. An almost tribal ditty complete with dulcimer and drum and bass rhythm, I’d say it’s worth getting just for this one new song alone.

A great addition to the album!
