Inspired by seeing electronic musician Flying Lotus improvising live with loops, Yorke and longtime collaborator Nigel Godrich developed Anima through live performances and studio work. Yorke would send Godrich \"sprawling\" unfinished tracks and Godrich would edit the tracks into shorter samples and loops, which Yorke wrote vocals to. They performed several Anima tracks, including \"Not the News\", on the Tomorrow's Modern Boxes tour. Radiohead drummer Philip Selway contributed \"sped up drums\" to \"Impossible Knots\", and Atoms for Peace drummer Joey Waronker appears in the end of \"The Axe.\" <br><br> Anima comprises electronic music with \"layers of electronic fuzz and deconstructed noise\". Yorke said the themes include anxiety and dystopia: \"For some reason I thought a really good way of expressing anxiety creatively was in a dystopian environment.\" The title Anima, a reference to the psychotherapist Carl Jung's concepts of the anima and animus, came from Yorke's \"obsession\" with dreams. https://bit.ly/2YjNgHr", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
