Just posted a micro-review of Yorke's new single (listen to each song here and here) on eMusic, thought it turned out well:
"The first track menaces (but not in a particularly great way): rough-edged eerieness by way of lo-fi percussion and a misanthropic bassline. Kinda builds to a swirling kinda-climax, but is strongest when content to simply swagger.
The second track meanders (but not in a particularly bad way): crisp, understated, carried by a disconcertingly plain and affecting vocal melody that alternates with more of Yorke's spooky shenanigans. Do I hear a trace of reggaeton in that two-stepping kickdrum, Thom?"
I like working within these length constraints, Christgau-style. Maybe I'll do more.
