It begins ominously, with deep organ notes, thudding percussion, and Yorke’s eerie crooning: “Beauty will destroy your mind / Spare the gory details / Give them gift wrapped / For the man with everything.” - David D. “The Butcher” feels even darker and more personal. It’s quite good, even by Radiohead standards, and reminiscent of “Separator” (the best song on “The King of Limbs”) - with Thom Yorke floating his haunting falsetto over textured electronics, warped synth, hollow percussion, and metronomic blips. “Supercollider” is a terrifyingly beautiful and sprawling track, lasting just over seven minutes.

Okay, trying to pin down a Radiohead track is as fruitful as trying to catch the wind in a net. On the other hand, we’re the same creators that killed a quarter of a million people in two bomb drops over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. ![]() ![]() On one hand, we’re the makers of supercolliders measuring in miles, searching for the meaning of the world in a speck.

The first track, “Supercollider”, begins with these lyrics of emergence: “Supercollider / Dust in a moment / Particles scatter / Parting from the soup /Swimming upstream, before the heavens crack / Thin pixelations / Coming out from the dust.” There are flashes and hints of meaning. It fits the motif of the band’s most recent release, “The King of Limbs”, with its images of a world teetering somewhere between catastrophic destruction and cosmic discovery. ![]() Maybe there’s something to the fact both these songs, “Supercollider” and “The Butcher” are about taking things apart - one in the most scientific way possible, and the other by hacking with a cleaver. Radiohead is celebrating this Record Store Day with the release of a limited-edition two-track 12-inch vinyl record.
