...Chocolate and Ice.” But even with the familiar emphasis on blanketing reverb, soaring vocal lines, minor key melodies, and heavy breakdowns, “Z” reformats the band’s modus operandi. Legendary producer John Leckie (Radiohead, Stone Roses) seems to have contributed heavily to this evolution. His touch is most evident in the futuristic feel of several tracks, such as “Off The Record”’s spacey fadeout. Increasingly psychedelic lyrics like “A kitten on fire/a baby in a blender” confirm...

He is also known for expressing his opinions with the sweetness of barbed wire. "I met with him and said I'd do it," recalls Godrich. "But I said I didn...
...here was a music that I did not have to reconcile with the fact of being a father, music that had lyrics so surreal that they bent my head into knots. And although my greatest fear still was that a visiting friend would find my copy of Radiohead's The Bends, I was in love again and shocked by what I had to thank...
