The Master by Jonny Greenwood

Greenwood’s knack for mustering up innovation from every nook and cranny has always been apparent in his work with Radiohead but his craftsmanship and adroitness to be able to merge such vast variations of both sounds and genres is even clearer here.

Those expecting a Radiohead-like album may be disappointed, but many aspects of what make them a great band are firmly in place here; cinematic and experimental, it is a very much a work of their guitarist.

The soundtrack is a sparse and minimal orchestral concoction of strings, piano, and ambient studio trickery perfectly suited to Anderson’s vision of an uncertain post-war world.
