Radiohead - The King Of Limbs

The King of Limbs is the eighth studio album by the English rock band Radiohead. Produced by Nigel Godrich, the album was self-released on 18 February 2011 as a download in MP3 and WAV formats, followed by physical CD and 12" vinyl releases on 28 March and a special "newspaper" edition on 9 May 2011. The physical editions were released through the band's Ticker Tape imprint on XL in the United Kingdom, TBD in the United States, and Hostess Entertainment in Japan.

Following the protracted recording and more conventional rock instrumentation of In Rainbows (2007), Radiohead employed a more spontaneous process to develop The King of Limbs, sampling and looping their recordings. Singer Thom Yorke described the album as an expression of "wildness" and "mutation".

Radiohead released no singles from the album, but released a music video for "Lotus Flower" that spawned an internet meme. It was named one of the best albums of 2011 by several publications, including The Wire, the NME, and PopMatters, and was nominated for five categories in the 54th Grammy Awards, including Best Alternative Music Album. It sold an estimated 300,000 to 400,000 download copies in two months of release and became a bestseller on vinyl. The album was followed in the same year by a remix album, TKOL RMX 1234567, and a live video, The King of Limbs: Live from the Basement.
