The Artist Behind Radiohead’s Album Covers | Work In Progress with Stanley Donwood

Stanley Donwood, alongside Thom Yorke, has designed the artwork for every single Radiohead album since The Bends. He is also an author and his most recent book, Bad Island, is out now: A wild seascape, a distant island, a full moon. Gradually the island grows nearer until we land on a primeval wilderness, rich in vegetation and huge, strange beasts. Time passes and things do not go well for the island. Civilization rises as towers of stone and metal and smoke, choking the undergrowth and the creatures who once moved through it. This is not a happy story and it will not have a happy ending. Working in his distinctive, monochromatic lino-cut style, Stanley Donwood carves out a mesmerizing, stark parable on environmentalism and the history of humankind. 0:00 Intro 0:52 Radiohead 4:39 Ness 6:38 Bad Island ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to the Penguin channel: Follow us here: Twitter | Website | Instagram | Facebook |
