Radiohead

In June 1995, Radiohead was riding high on the waves from their critically acclaimed second album, "The Bends." Released just a few months earlier, this album marked a significant shift in their sound, moving towards more complex arrangements and introspective lyrics. The live recording of "Sulk" at Liquid Room in Tokyo captures the band during a pivotal moment in their career, as they were transforming from an alternative rock group into a more experimental band. Interestingly, this performance highlights Thom Yorke's haunting vocals and the band's atmospheric instrumentation, elements that would soon define their later works. It was during this era that Radiohead began to cultivate their dedicated fan base in Japan, a country that has remained integral to their success. This recording not only showcases their raw energy on stage but also foreshadows the innovative paths they'd explore in subsequent albums.
