help Amnesiac FAQ

How is Radiohead's Amnesiac connected to their album Kid A?

'Amnesiac' is the 2001 follow-up to 'Kid A,' and both albums were actually compiled from the same extensive recording sessions. The band felt they had too much quality material for a single record, resulting in two distinct but stylistically related releases.

Who produced the album Amnesiac?

Like 'Kid A,' the album was produced by the band alongside their longtime producer, Nigel Godrich. It continues their radical shift away from traditional rock, incorporating heavy elements of jazz, electronic music, and classical composition.

What are the most notable songs on Amnesiac?

The album includes the jazz-influenced 'Knives Out' and the eerie, synthesizer-driven 'Pyramid Song.' 'Knives Out' is particularly notable among fans as one of the few tracks on the record that resembles Radiohead's earlier, guitar-driven alternative rock sound.

Did Radiohead tour for Amnesiac?

Rather than a traditional global stadium tour, Radiohead played a few highly publicized shows, including a famous concert in South Oxfordshire that was webcast live. They also released a live EP titled 'I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings' to promote the album.
