The ninth and so far final album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
Some guests added drums, strings and a female choir.
This album seems to be the final Radiohead album. The band members are occupied with other bands and has declared that Radiohead had run it's course with this album.
I understand what they say by running it's course. The once so groundbreaking band now sounds like their copycats and other bands who has pushed the indie rock envelope.
A Moon Shaped Pool sees the band go a bit more minimalistic than before. A bit more indie rock too although there is some electronica left in their music.
The music is mostly pastoral and melancholic. It is a bit shoegaze too. Yes, Radiohead also gave new life to this genre too. In many respects, they were a shoegaze band. That is evident on this album.
Most of this album is good. This album is better than their previous two albums. If the band is no more, has ceased to be, they have left us with a good final album. I got tonnes of respect for this band and their albums.
