Thom Yorke

In the live recording of "Daily Battles," Thom Yorke performs a song from the film "Motherless Brooklyn," indicating that this period in his career aligns with the release of his 2019 solo album "ANIMA." This album, unlike his previous works, features a more refined electronic sound and addresses complex themes, showcasing his evolution as an artist. The performance took place during a time when Yorke was actively engaging with visual media, as "Motherless Brooklyn" is a film directed by Edward Norton, further illustrating Yorke's interest in collaborative projects beyond music. Interestingly, "Daily Battles" highlights his ability to convey emotional depth through minimalist arrangements, often accompanied by intricate visual storytelling — a testament to the synergy between his music and the cinematic world. This performance at the Ed Sullivan Theater serves as a reflection of Yorke's versatility and artistic exploration during this stage of his career.
