Since Radiohead's formation in the mid-1980s, the band has
celebrated three decades of creative collaboration and achieved
critical acclaim across music genres as cultural icons. Recognized
not only for their musical talent and daring experimentation,
Radiohead is also known for its work's engagement with cultural and
political issues. Phil Rose dissects Radiohead's entire catalog to
reveal how the music directs our attention toward themes like cyber
technology, the environment, terrorism, and the inevitability of
the apocalypse. With each new album, Radiohead has sought to
reinvent its sound and position in the music industry. Abandoning
traditional distribution for their 2007 In Rainbows album,
Radiohead experimented with a pay-what-you-want model that embraced
the crowd-sourced commerce that has continued to gain prominence in
modern consumer culture. In addition to chronicling the band
members' various solo projects, Rose outlines Radiohead's political
and civic activism. As the most up-to-date and thorough discussion
of this landmark body of musical multimedia, Radiohead: Music for a
Global Future recounts the band's triumphs and tragedies along with
their role at the forefront of adaptation both to a changing music
industry and a rapidly changing world.
