Thom Yorke's solo albums are often morose and static, intelligent and less physical than the music he composes with Radiohead. Yet at the opening night of Yorke's "Tomorrow's Modern Boxes" at the Franklin Music Hall in Philadelphia on Friday, the singer apparently asked his audience to dance, which is not evident in the 2014 glossy album. who gave his name to this tour. And this packed Philadelphia crowd did it, although it may not be as Yorke & Co. wanted it to be.
During his live mix of 19 songs with producer Nigel Godrich and visual artist Tarik Barri, Yorke even managed to stand out. There were strange and modified versions of the Cabbage Patch, a kind of spider-crawled crawl, pieces of Dougie and more.
Arrived after a strangely strange start of operation by cellist Oliver Coates, the all-in-black trio hit the ground with the majestic and majestic first title, "Interference", Yorke's loud, loud voice. The dance began early when the trio interpreted "A Brain in a Bottle" and "Impossible Knots", Yorke passing his voice without words in the bass line of the latter. "Two Feet Off The Ground" contains a thick bass and reverberant, while "Amok" and "Default" – two tunes of Atoms for Peace from the 2009 Yorke project with the bassist Flea Red Hot Chili Peppers – contrast the melodies a lullaby with rattling rhythms. The same could be said of Barri's live video of psychedelic blobs, cobwebs and lava locks.
From then on, the music became less rhythmic and more esoteric, with keyboards to loop and guitars to bridle leading songs such as "Pink Section" and "Nose Grows Some". The set was completed with elegiac styles "Traffic" and "Twist," bringing the crowd, which had just begun to sweat, in cold mode. Through all this, Yorke has managed to propel his often cool electronic music brand into something alive, vibrant and warm.
Yet, strangely, Yorke's last solo release – his soundtrack of the movie "Suspiria" – was not found in this "live mix", which is a shame because many of the intimate and atmospheric mood moments of this album would have worked with elegance during milder moments. from the electro-suite tonight.
