The double bass replacement for the vocals is genius. This cover is incredible, it gave me chills

[cyyytrn]

I didnt know it was humanly possible to cover such song

[cezarzbughin]

And this is why radiohead is your fav band's fav band.

[chrisslooter]

Rodeohead. I suppose you'd have to be familiar with the original to appreciate this performance. Amazing arrangement.

[painovoimaton]

Never would I have thought I would hear an all-acoustic arrangement of this song, and such an outstanding one too.

[sameersharma]

the mimicking at the end of the babys cry was incredible

[eyycstk]

the thing that is so unique about this cover is that all the other Radiohead covers sound the same as the original, which is stupid because Radiohead themselves would never do that. This sounds like what Radiohead would make if they were this band, its so unique, it feels like it came from people actually dedicated to making their own original music

[Kain]

Incredible how they got all of the nuanced background noises too. This is amazing!

[jaradmalbone]

I still can’t get over how amazing this is.

[TLARC]

Watching them all bounce simultaneously, so into the music as the song explodes into life is just one of the many pleasures of seeing Kid A brought to life on string instruments. It's almost like they're working as antennas to pick up the frequency of the music - very impressive.

[NReza]

I’m hoping Jonny saw this cause it will make him so happy

[beepbeepboop]

I would love to see them do a cover of Bjork's Hyper-Ballad.

[Platonick]

This is stunning - a song that even Radiohead could not easily play live.

[Sadlittleatticboy]

Incredible!! That's 5 seriously talented people right there

[vanillatwilight]

This is actually insane holy shit, nailed

[theodore]

I love the cover of this strange yet jovial amazing title track, righteous execution and brilliant instrument assignment and utilization! So fun to watch and listen!

[amJones]

Wow. They really concentrated on all the important elements of the song.

[leafaryorke]

This is magnificent. If you really get the song this feels beautifully done

[pablosotomayor]

I get the feeling that this is how johnny originally envisioned kid a to be

[streetratmusic]

Every Radiohead cover these guys have done is great but man, this arrangement is such a mindblowing effort!
