needs more "EEEEDDD"

solid cover tho

[whereitsat]

In a world where everyone is a music critic, I simply say thank you Phantogram. A group I've seen twice covering a band I would love to see. Good stuff.

[iggystardust]

To all the people saying the Radiohead version is better: I don't think Phantogram was trying to make it better than Radiohead lol. Seems like a moot point.

[kemikalrxn]

props to Sarah for that beautiful vocal performance.

[adampecsek]

Everyone has already pointed out that the sparse instrumentation and absence of background vocals leave this version a bit lacking compared to the original, but I love it. The kick-kick-snare drum pattern works so well. It makes it more like a mid-tempo rock song and gives it a fantastic groove. I also love this woman's voice.

[alezoppi]

It takes guts to cover this song. In the original all the instruments are incredibly glued to one another especially for the rythmical part. You can't just "make it yours" the same way you can't rearrange pieces of a puzzle.

I think they did a good job

I'm a huge Radiohead fan and I just love this cover! 😱

[lovelyella]

Fantastic version… love that there is a line… “turns me onto Phantoms” gives me chills, Phantogram is one of the most underrated bands for sure. ❤

[israx]

This version is JUST AMAZING. Six years and I still Lovin it

I ADORE how she went for the higher octave at the end, just as Thom did in the song's debut in 2005.

[Erock]

damn, that's probably my favorite cover. Keeps the signature of the song while adding their twist, definitely Phantogram. Her voice works very well for this song.

[richarddunbar]

This is really well done. I’m a huge Radiohead fan and most covers of their music suck - bands either try to sound like Radiohead or totally change it and make it unrecognizable. Phantogram is great and they kept it simple, let the bass line drive the song and Sarah’s vocals are soothing and not overpowering. Great job!

[jamesmacdougall]

As a big fan of both Radiohead and Phantogram, I thoroughly approve

[KT-lytr]

Wow, what a fresh take on this song. Loving the groove laid down.

[midnightcaper]

just had to comment on how good that snare sounds. Butter.

[Dustßunny]

Love triple j and am a massive fan of both Radiohead and phantogram how have I never heard this cover before absolute gem ✨🌟✨

[tiffanylyman-olszewski]

Wow. I find this to be pretty freaking amazing.

[arondavila]

can't believe this is the first time i've ever heard this version! love radiohead. love phantogram. hell of a fucking version, such a vibe!

[whiteoak]

I remember in 1985 going to a music studio on the Northside of Chicago, it looked just like this
I was 17, this video reminds me of that night, crazy how music is produced,
Phantagram is such an amazing band

[vontegethoff]

I listen to this from time to time because it’s amazing
