Wispy and ephemeral, shimmering skin draped over the barest of bones, The King of Limbs doesn t deliberately lack a solid foundation, songwriting traded for sound construction. Masters of mood that they are, Radiohead digitally weave stuttering, glitchy loops of drums and guitars with real instruments, Thom Yorke s mournful moan and keening falsetto acting as a binding agent, creating an alluringly dour atmosphere.
Despite a pair of intellectually funky moments — Morning Mr. Magpie and Little by Little, grouped together at the beginning, giving the album a slight hint of momentum that quickly fades — this is rather monochromatic and not too far removed from the territory Radiohead began etching out with Kid A.
Where that icy effort had the bracing chill of the new, The King of Limbs is familiar — not commonplace, but carrying a certain inevitability as its eight songs slowly unspool. There are no surprises in the floating textures, no delight in the details, no astonishment in how the band navigates intricate turns: this is the sound of Radiohead doing what they do, doing it very well, doing it without flash or pretension, gently easing from the role of pioneers to craftsmen.
