Popular both for its expansive sound and themes of modern alienation, the album has been acclaimed by critics as a landmark record of the 1990's, some critics go as far to consider it one of the best of all time. The band's third album, ' OK Computer' (1997), propelled them to greater attention. The album featured the hits ' High & Dry', ' Just' and ' Fake Plastic Trees'. Radiohead were initially branded as a one-hit wonder abroad, but caught on at home in the UK with their second album, ' The Bends' (1995), earning fans with their dense guitar atmospheres and front man Thom Yorke's expressive singing. The cathartic ' Creep', from the debut album ' Pablo Honey' (1993), became a worldwide hit as grunge music dominated radio airwaves. The name Radiohead comes from the Talking Heads song, 'Radio Head', from the ' True Stories' album.įormed by school friends in 1986, Radiohead did not release their first single until 1992's ' Drill EP'. Welcome to the world of Mothlights.Alternative Rock (Modern Rock) band from Oxfordshire, England (United Kingdom). I tried to let the quarantine, the Floyd uprising, the loss and declining health of loved ones and the wave of reaction bleed into this completely hypothetical folk music from some place I made up in my head. Almost all of the songs are informed by what was going on around me contextually but set in this surreal other place I had retreated to. Being terminally stuck in my 700 sq ft apartment for two years in downtown DC amidst all of that was pretty rough as I was writing and recording this album, so I retreated heavily into fantasy. I’m still reckoning with the fact that we will never get the pre-COVID world back and how this new world was born from that one. Rising global fascism, rising tides: we’re in the end stage now. I feel like we all feel it, seeing it on our screens, before our eyes and in the way it’s affecting our personal behaviors.

More than once was a guitar take on this record interrupted by the sound of an armored police vehicle rolling past my window in mid 2020, and more than once did I give up recording a vocal take after yet another news buzz on my phone left me exhausted. This DC-based artist would be perfect for fans of Julien Baker and Low. Mothlights come from the mind of Rishi Gupta, who also owns the label Strawberry Moon Records.

Today is a great day to share the latest album from Mothlights called Walking the World With A Leaky Umbrella.
