The Eraser

A cold and icy environment, void of most color. I don't know how I got here, or where I am, I just woke up here.
That's how I felt during the first few opening minutes of the title track, The Eraser, and it's a feeling that permeates throughout most of this album. Showcasing little more than loops, heavy electronic influence, and Yorke's own vocals, the atmosphere of this entire record is a rather lonely and isolated one, like being alone in the sea, no land around for miles. While the more minimalistic approach that Thom takes to electronic and IDM music will definitely not appeal to everyone, for me, it is undeniably beautiful.
