A lot of gamers will definitely be familiar with Radiohead, the band which shaped the music taste of many who grew up in the 90s and early 2000s. This familiarity concerning Radiohead’s songs exists because a lot of their songs have been used as gaming soundtracks. To name a few, the FIFA and NBA games.

As Radiohead’s two iconic albums- Kid A and Amnesiac, turn two-decade-old, Epic has developed an innovative way to celebrate this occasion. Epic and Radiohead announced a mysterious collaboration where they will create a universe from original artwork and recordings of the band.

This collaboration came into light with this recent tweet by Radiohead.

On September 7th, Radiohead wrote on Twitter that this exhibition will be “a coming of age for Kid A & Amnesiac and it’s joined by a new album, Kid Amnesiae, a memory palace of half-remembered, half-forgotten sessions & unreleased material.”

This announcement also came as a rather off-beat update from the latest PlayStation Showcase on September 9.

Kid A and Amnesiac as cult favorites

Radiohead, with Kid A, experimented with electronic music and expressed several emotions with that album. The album was able to capture several anxieties surrounding people. It was a reflection of panic caused by elements such as climate change, atomic weapons, and human nature. And Amnesiac worked as an offspring to Kid A when it came out in 2011.

While it garnered mixed reviews at the start, fans slowly have realized that these two albums contain a few of Radiohead’s best songs. All of these explain the cult status Radiohead acquired in the coming years.
