SELECTIONS FROM: RADIOHEAD / THE BENDS
The Bends is the second studio album by English rock band Radiohead. It was released on March 13, 1995 in the UK by Parlophone and in the U.S. by Capitol Records. Produced by John Leckie and engineered by Nigel Godrich, who would go on to co-produce all future albums by the band, The Bends marked the beginning of a shift in aesthetics and themes, with greater use of keyboards and more abrasive and subtle guitar tracks. With this album, the introspective grunge-influenced style of the band's 1993 debut Pablo Honey evolved into more multi-layered rock with cryptic lyrics and larger ideas, The album spawned five charting singles; My Iron Lung was first released as an EP in 1994, and High And Dry was later released as the album's proper lead single. The Bends received greater acclaim than their debut album featuring the mega-hit single "Creep" including a nomination for Best British Album at the 1996 Brit Awards.
