Title: Radiohead – OK Computer
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1997, Rock, Alternative Rock, Oxford, England
Condition: New
Cultural Facts:
Studio Lore: They relocated to St Catherine’s Court to escape “proper studio” habits—running long cables through rooms and using the mansion’s natural bleed so the building’s acoustics became a band member.
Studio Lore: Thom Yorke’s notebook fragments were treated like found text; “Fitter Happier” is the Mac SimpleText “Fred” voice, arranged as a corporate wellness script to make the human feel automated.
Media Narrative: The album’s paranoia wasn’t sci-fi cosplay—late-’90s tech optimism, motorways, call-center culture, and media saturation were the real references, and the band leaned into that as their new public identity.
