Description

The Bends is Radiohead’s breakthrough second album — a sweeping, emotionally charged collection that blends guitar-driven rock with introspective lyricism. This remastered reissue is pressed on standard black vinyl, housed in a single sleeve with a printed inner and includes a download code for MP3 versions of the album. Produced by John Leckie, the album features iconic tracks like “High and Dry,” “Fake Plastic Trees,” “Just,” and “Street Spirit (Fade Out).” It marked a turning point for the band, expanding their sonic palette and setting the stage for OK Computer.

Artist Overview

Radiohead’s The Bends captured the tension between Britpop’s swagger and the alienation of the digital age. With Thom Yorke’s haunting vocals and Jonny Greenwood’s textured guitar work, the album helped redefine alternative rock in the mid-’90s. Its influence can be heard in artists from Muse and Coldplay to Phoebe Bridgers and Bon Iver.
