It was Radiohead's first release after their recording contract with ended with their previous album (2003).Radiohead began work on In Rainbows in early 2005. In 2006, after initial recording sessions with new producer proved fruitless, the band toured Europe and North America performing new material. After re-enlisting longtime producer, Radiohead recorded in the country houses and Tottenham House, Godrich's London studio, and Radiohead's Oxfordshire studio. In Rainbows is more personal than previous Radiohead albums, with singer describing most of the songs as his versions of 'seduction songs'.
Radiohead incorporated a variety of musical styles and instruments, using electronic instruments, strings, piano, and the.The pay-what-you-want release, the first for a major act, made headlines around the world and sparked debate about implications for the music industry.

Contents.Background In 2004, after finishing the world tour for their sixth studio album (2003), Radiohead went on hiatus. As Hail to the Thief was the last album released under their six-album contract with, the band had no contractual obligation to release new material. According to the, in 2006, Radiohead were 'by far the world's most popular unsigned band'.Drummer said: 'It was definitely time to take a break. There was still a desire amongst us to make music, but also a realisation that other aspects of our lives were being neglected. And we'd come to the end of our contract, which gives you a natural point to look back over at what you've achieved as a band.'
Singer and songwriter recorded his first solo album, (2006), and multi-instrumentalist composed his first solo works, the soundtracks (2004) and (2007). Recording In March 2005, Radiohead began writing and recording new music in their Oxfordshire studio without their longtime producer. Guitarist said they chose to work without Godrich to 'get out of the comfort zone. We've been working together for 10 years, and we all love one another too much'. Bassist later denied this, saying Godrich had been busy working with and.At the Ether Festival in July 2005, Greenwood and Yorke performed a version of the future In Rainbows track 'Weird Fishes/Arpeggi' with the orchestra and the. Regular recording sessions began in August 2005, with Radiohead updating fans on their progress intermittently on their new, Dead Air Space. The sessions were slow, and the band struggled to regain confidence; according to Yorke, 'we spent a long time in the studio just not going anywhere, wasting our time, and that was really, really frustrating.'
O'Brien said the band considered splitting up, but kept working 'because when you got beyond all the shit and the bollocks, the core of these songs were really good'. They attributed their slow progress to a lack of momentum after their break and the lack of deadline and producer. Radiohead performing live at the Greek Theatre, Berkeley, California, during their 2006 tour. Radiohead used the tour to test songs later recorded for In Rainbows.In December 2005, Radiohead hired producer, who had worked with artists including and, to help them work through their material. O'Brien told: 'Spike listened to the stuff we'd been self-producing.
These weren't demos, they’d been recorded in proper studios, and he said, 'The sounds aren't good enough.' ' However, the collaboration with Stent was unsuccessful.In an effort to break the deadlock, Radiohead decided to tour for the first time since 2004. They performed in Europe and North America in May and June 2006, and returned to Europe for several festivals in August, performing many new songs. According to Yorke, 'We basically had all these half-formed songs, and we just had to get it together. And rather than it being a nightmare, it was really, really good fun, because suddenly everyone is being spontaneous and no one's self-conscious because you're not in the studio. It felt like being 16 again.'
After the tour, Radiohead scrapped their work and re-enlisted Godrich, who, according to Yorke, 'gave us a walloping kick up the arse'. In October 2006, recording started at in, a scouted by Godrich where Radiohead worked for three weeks. The band members lived in caravans, as the building was in a state of disrepair; Yorke described it as 'derelict in the stricter sense of the word, where there's holes in the floor, rain coming through the ceilings, half the window panes missing. There were places you just basically didn't go. It definitely had an effect.
It had some pretty strange vibes.' The sessions were productive, and the band recorded ' and '. In October, Yorke wrote on Dead Air Space that Radiohead had 'started the record properly now. Starting to get somewhere I think. In December 2006, sessions took place at, and Godrich's Hospital Studios in, where the band recorded 'Videotape' and '. In January 2007, Radiohead resumed recording in their Oxfordshire studio and started to post photos, lyrics, videos and samples of new songs on Dead Air Space.
In June, having wrapped up recording, Godrich posted clips of songs on Dead Air Space.Excluding 'Last Flowers', which Yorke recorded in the Eraser sessions, the In Rainbows sessions produced 16 songs. Feeling Hail to the Thief had been overlong, Radiohead wanted their seventh album to be concise. They settled on ten songs, saving the rest for the limited edition. The album was by in July 2007 at Gateway Mastering, New York City. In 'House of Cards', Radiohead turns toward more traditional love ballads, while still retaining their electronic edge.Problems playing these files? See.In Rainbows incorporates elements of,.
The opening track, '15 Step', features a handclap rhythm inspired by '. Radiohead planned to record handclaps by a group of children from the Matrix Music School & Arts Centre in Oxford; when the clapping proved 'not quite good enough', they recorded the children cheering instead.Radiohead recorded a version of 'Nude' during the OK Computer sessions, but discarded it. The OK Computer version was inspired by, and featured a, a 'straighter' feel, and different lyrics.
During the early sessions for In Rainbows, Colin Greenwood wrote a new for the song, which, according to Godrich, 'transformed it from something very straight into something that had much more of a rhythmic flow'.Radiohead performed a song with the working title 'Reckoner' in 2001. During the In Rainbows sessions, they abandoned the original 'Reckoner' and created a new song with the same name.
Yorke released the original song as a solo single, ', in 2009.' Bodysnatchers', a song Yorke described as sounding like and ' meets dodgy ', was recorded when he was in a period of ' '. On 'All I Need', Jonny Greenwood wanted to capture the generated by a band playing loudly in a room, a sound which never occurs in the studio. His solution was to have a play every note of the, blanketing the.Yorke described the process of composing 'Videotape' as 'absolute agony', stating that the song 'went through every possible parameter'.
One day, Yorke left the studio, returning to find that Godrich and Jonny Greenwood had stripped the song down to the final version, a minimal piano ballad. Lyrics Yorke said that the In Rainbows lyrics are based on 'that anonymous fear thing, sitting in traffic, thinking, 'I'm sure I'm supposed to be doing something else'. It's similar to in a way. It's much more terrifying.'
He said that whereas Hail to the Thief was a 'very angry' record, there was 'very little anger in In Rainbows. It's in no way political, or, at least, doesn't feel that way to me. It very much explores the ideas of transience. It starts in one place and ends somewhere completely different.' In another interview, Yorke said the album was 'about the fucking panic of realising you're going to die!
And that any time soon I could possibly have a heart attack when I next go for a run.' Described the lyrics as 'universal. There wasn't a political agenda. It's being human'. The song 'Bodysnatchers' is inspired by, the 1972 novel and Yorke's feeling of 'your physical consciousness trapped without being able to connect fully with anything else.'
'Jigsaw Falling into Place' is about a set of observations and different experiences, partly of the chaos witnessed by Yorke when he used to go out on the weekend in Oxford. Yorke said 'The lyrics are quite caustic—the idea of 'before you're comatose' or whatever, drinking yourself into oblivion and getting fucked-up to forget.
there is partly this elation. But there's a much darker side.' Artwork The In Rainbows artwork was designed by longtime Radiohead collaborator.
Donwood worked in the studio while Radiohead worked on the album, allowing the artwork to convey the mood of the music. He displayed images in the studio and on the studio computer for the band to interact with and comment on. He also posted images daily on the Radiohead website, though none were used in the final artwork.Donwood experimented with, putting prints into acid baths and throwing wax at paper, creating images influenced by space photography.
He originally planned to explore suburban life, but realised it did not fit the album, saying 'it's a sensual record and I wanted to do something more organic'. He described the final artwork as 'very colourful. It's a rainbow but it is very toxic, it's more like the sort of one you'd see in a puddle.'
Radiohead did not release the cover for the digital release, preferring to hold it back for the physical release. The limited edition includes a booklet containing additional artwork by Donwood. Release On 1 October 2007, Jonny Greenwood announced Radiohead's seventh album on Radiohead's blog, writing: 'Well, the new album is finished, and it's coming out in 10 days; we've called it In Rainbows.' The post contained a link to inrainbows.com, where users could pre-order an MP3 version of the album for any amount they wanted, including £0—a landmark use of the model for music sales. Colin Greenwood explained the internet release as a way of avoiding the 'regulated playlists' and 'straitened formats' of radio and TV, ensuring listeners around the world would experience the music at the same time, and preventing leaks in advance of a physical release. Formats and distribution For the In Rainbows download, Radiohead employed the network provider to bypass public internet, using a less-trafficked private network. The download was packaged as a file containing the album's ten tracks encoded in a 160 format.
The staggered online release began at about 5:30am on 10 October 2007. On 10 December, the download was removed.Fans could also order a limited 'discbox' edition from inrainbows.com, containing the album on CD and two 12' heavyweight vinyl records with artwork and lyric booklets, plus an with eight additional tracks, digital photos and artwork, packaged in a hardcover book.

In Rainbows was released on CD and vinyl in Japan by on 26 December 2007, in Australia on 29 December 2007 by, and in the United States and Canada on 1 January 2008 by imprint and / respectively.Elsewhere, the album was released on 31 December 2007 by independent record label, which had released Yorke's solo album The Eraser. The CD release came in a cardboard package containing the CD, lyric booklet, and several stickers that could be placed on the blank to create cover art. In Rainbows was the first Radiohead album available for download in several digital music stores, such as the.
On 10 June 2016, it was added to the free streaming service.Radiohead retained ownership of the and for In Rainbows. The download and limited editions of the album were self-released; for the physical release, Radiohead licensed the music to record labels.
Licensing agreements for all releases were managed by the band's publisher,. Reaction The pay-what-you-want release, the first for a major act, made headlines worldwide and sparked debate about the implications for the music industry. According to, the release was 'hailed as a revolution in the way major bands sell their music', and the media's reaction was 'almost overwhelmingly positive'. Time called it 'easily the most important release in the recent history of the music business' and of wrote that 'for the beleaguered recording business Radiohead has put in motion the most audacious experiment in years'.
The wrote that 'the music world seemed to judder several rimes off its axis', and praised the fact that everyone, from fans to critics, had access to the album at the same time on release day: 'the kind of moment of togetherness you don’t get very often.' Singer of praised Radiohead as 'courageous and imaginative in trying to figure out some new relationship with their audience'.The release also drew criticism. Of thought it did not go far enough, calling it 'very much a bait and switch, to get you to pay for a -quality stream as a way to promote a very traditional record sale'. Reznor independently released his sixth album under a licence the following year.
Singer called the release 'arrogant', saying: 'Radiohead have millions of pounds. It sends a weird message to younger bands who haven't done as well. You don't choose how to pay for eggs. Why should it be different for music?' In the, journalist wrote that Radiohead had made it impossible for less successful musicians to compete and make a living from their music.
Of told the Guardian the release 'seemed really community-oriented, but it wasn't catered towards their musician brothers and sisters, who don’t sell as many records as them. It makes everyone else look bad for not offering their music for whatever.' Radiohead's managers defended the release as 'a solution for Radiohead, not the industry', and doubted 'it would work the same way for Radiohead ever again'. Radiohead have not used the pay-what-you-want system for subsequent releases. In February 2013, Yorke told the Guardian that though Radiohead had hoped to subvert the corporate music industry with In Rainbows, he feared they had instead played into the hands of content providers such as and: 'They have to keep commodifying things to keep the share price up, but in doing so they have made all content, including music and newspapers, worthless, in order to make their billions. And this is what we want?' Dispute with EMI As Radiohead's recording contract with ended after the 2003 release of Hail to the Thief, Radiohead recorded In Rainbows without a record label.
In 2005, Yorke told: 'I like the people at our record company, but the time is at hand when you have to ask why anyone needs one. And, yes, it probably would give us some perverse pleasure to say 'Fuck you' to this decaying business model.'
In August 2007, as Radiohead were finishing In Rainbows, EMI was acquired by the firm for US$6.4 billion (£4.7 billion).EMI executives including Keith Wozencroft, who had signed Radiohead to EMI, travelled regularly to Radiohead's Oxfordshire studio in hopes of negotiating a new contract. Radiohead wanted the rights to their back catalog, which new EMI owner refused.
However, even in the days leading to the album announcement, the executives believed a deal could be made, and were 'devastated' when Radiohead's team informed them of the self-release plan a day in advance. Hands said he believed that Radiohead would only have canceled it with a 'really big' offer.
According to Eamonn Forde, author of The Final Days of EMI, Radiohead had lost faith in EMI and thought the new ownership would be a 'bloodbath'. O'Brien said: 'It was really sad to leave all the people we'd worked with. But Terra Firma don't understand the music industry.' An EMI spokesman stated that Radiohead had demanded 'an extraordinary amount of money' for a new contract. Radiohead's management and Yorke released statements denying that they had asked for a large advance, but instead wanted control over their back catalogue. According to Hands: 'They wanted a lot of money. And they wanted their masters back, which we valued even more.
At our valuation, it was millions and millions that they wanted.' Responding to Hands's statement, Yorke told an interviewer: 'It fucking pissed me off. We could have taken them Terra Firma to court. The idea that we were after so much money was stretching the truth to breaking point. That was his PR company briefing against us and I'll tell you what, it fucking ruined my Christmas.'
Days after Radiohead signed to XL, EMI announced a recorded before In Rainbows, released in the same week as the In Rainbows special edition. Radiohead were reportedly 'incensed' at the release; commentators including the Guardian saw it as retaliation for the band choosing not to re-sign with EMI. Hands defended the reissues as necessary to boost EMI's revenues: 'We have a bank that is staring us down and now Radiohead have basically told us to eff off, I don't think we have a huge amount of reasons to be nice to them. We need the money for the bank, so let's do it.' In 2019, O'Brien told an interviewer: 'I had no idea that we mattered that much to EMI.
That probably sounds really naive. But there weren't people going, 'You're so important.' We were just one of the bands on their roster.' Promotion Following the album release, Radiohead recorded two in their Oxfordshire studio: 'Thumbs Down', broadcast on their website in November 2007, and 'Scotch Mist', broadcast on New Year's Eve.
In the US, 'Scotch Mist' was also broadcast on. The webcasts featured performances of In Rainbows songs, plus covers, poetry, and music videos created with comedian.In March 2008, Radiohead partnered with animation site to create a contest whereby entrants submitted for an animated music video for an In Rainbows song. The winner, who would receive $10,000 to create a full-length music video, was chosen by AniBOOM, Radiohead, and; Adult Swim aired the winning video. The band awarded $10,000 each to four different winners, plus $1,000 to each of ten semifinalists to create a one-minute clip. Radiohead toured North America, Europe, South America and Japan in support of In Rainbows from May 2008 until March 2009.

Jon Dolan of called In Rainbows a 'far more pensive and reflective' album than Hail to the Thief, writing that it 'formulates a lush, sensualized ideal out of vague, layered discomfort.' 's Mikael Wood felt that the album 'succeeds because all of that cold, clinical lab work hasn't eliminated the warmth from their music', while 's Mark Pytlik dubbed it a more 'human' album that 'represents the sound of Radiohead coming back to earth.'
