Layers of the Lotus Flower

Much like the petaled layers of the flower that its title is derived from, Radiohead’s new song, “Lotus Flower,” is intricately packed with layers upon layers of melodic, slow sounds that enrapture listeners to move their bodies almost as snake-like as Thom Yorke does in the music video. It is hard not to get enchanted, not to get caught up in everything– especially the fluid, quiet movements of his arm.
